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.

Audience Says

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

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.

Like the space mission named in its title, Project Hail Mary pulls off a seemingly impossible task, combining big-budget Hollywood spectacle with small-scale craft.

5/5

With what comes across as three huge narrative sections that differ rewardingly from each other, and an ending that ties everything neatly together, the storytelling pace of Project Hail Mary is flawless. It’s a perfect balance.

3/5

Buoyed by a sense of humankind's propensity for hope even when faced with certain demise, Project Hail Mary is a crowd pleasing odd couple melodrama leaning heavily on sentimentality, sometimes to its detriment.

Project Hail Mary was beautiful. It delivered amazing scenes and the music was phenomenal. Very fitting to the scenes and overall movie itself. I'll be looking forward to buying this movie physically and the soundtrack as well.

I really liked. They changed certain things from the book but it was still a solid watch.

The film is quite amusing. While it may be slightly toned down at The Times, it remains delightfully humorous. And when it is meant to be serious, it has a playful quality.

If you can watch it in 70mm, please do. I will say nothing else than it is a spectacular movie to experience in this format. Go in with as little info as possible.

A long movie but it honestly flew by. I didn’t check the time once! Good story, a little hard for me to follow the science parts but didn’t take away from enjoyment of the movie at all. Heartwarming and wholesome, and refreshingly original
