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.

This is the most ambitious picture, in terms of structure and spectacle, that the filmmaking duo of Lord and Miller have ever made, and sometimes it reels out of their grasp.

“Project Hail Mary” certainly qualifies as an uplifting experience at the cinema, being a mix of selflessness, sacrifice, camaraderie and even a certain amount of melancholy.

3/4

As far as rousing, interstellar science fiction pulp adventures are concerned, directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller pull out all the stops with the monumentally entertaining Project Hail Mary.

Project Hail Mary is the epitome of "I accidentally became important at my job and it’s ruining my life." And it’s beautifully tied together with a life-altering friendship between a human and a rock alien.

"Project Hail Mary" can’t completely expunge cynicism from our lives, but it is such a joyful, humanistic endeavor that maybe it can inspire us to evolve.

Better than expected. It kept momentum all thr way through. Mind you not fast paced as bad as The Martian or Interstellar. But it did keep up tempo throughout and didnt deviate to get to the ending. Never read the book. Maybe I will though. Ryan gosling was great in this. Will be waiting to stream it at home!
