Science teacher Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling) wakes up on a spaceship light years from home with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. As his memory returns, he begins to uncover his mission: solve the riddle of the mysterious substance causing the sun to die out. He must call on his scientific knowledge and unorthodox ideas to save everything on Earth from extinction... but an unexpected friendship means he may not have to do it alone.

Critics Consensus

A visually dazzling space odyssey that's carried along effortlessly by the gravitational pull of Ryan Gosling at his most winning, Project Hail Mary is a near-miraculous fusion of smarts and heart.

One stellar Gosling + one arachnid-ish alien + one Hail Mary mission = lightning in a spaceship.

3.5/5

At 2½ hours plus, it also has its longueurs but there are some spectacularly beautiful moments and Gosling makes an engaging companion who makes something poignant as well as funny out of Grace’s unwelcome elevation to hero status.

...a lengthy yet consistently enthralling sci-fi endeavor that benefits from Gosling’s often insanely charismatic performance and a narrative littered with memorable, electrifying set-pieces...

3.5/5

Despite its nearly two-and-a-half-hour runtime, this story of friendship and science fiction is truly a unique adventure—one that managed to translate admirably to the silver screen. [Full Review in Spanish]

Great movie. Not one of this “space” movies that just goes on and on. I love the story and the transition between current time in space and what lead there in the past. Kept it interesting.

The movie itself was an interesting concept, however, it was a little too cutsey and long. We love sci-fi, but this one just didn't hit the spot. Great performance by Ryan Gosling and the voice of the creature but.....
