David Sims The Atlantic 3d
This film is not quite the masterpiece its grand visual scale sometimes suggests it’s shooting for. Still, it’s pretty consistently enjoyable, with a message that the viewing public could afford to hear. Go to Full Review
Stephanie Zacharek TIME Magazine Mar 27
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. Go to Full Review
John Anderson America Magazine Mar 24
“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. Go to Full Review

Project Hail Mary feels like the antithesis of its title.Instead of being a gamble, it plays like the best, most epic, populist title of the year. it is so brashly accessible, it is anything but a Hail Mary. Unforgettable from start to finish. Go to Full Review
Alan Zilberman Spectrum Culture 3d
3.5/5
All the tropes, whether they are mysterious planets or a dangerous spacewalk, are in service of something far simpler. At its core, Project Hail Mary is a buddy comedy. Go to Full Review

Jeff S 29m Well done. Good Sci-fi. Fun for all. See more Ryann 29m This movie is a must see! I read the book and it's a great adaptation, not exactly spot on but it adds a couple things the book doesn't have while of course leaving out some things that couldn't fit. All in all its a great movie. See more Alexis 44m need to see in theaters See more Andy M 1h Loved the movie, but the pacing was a little slow and seemed to drag at points See more Kasie E 1h Feel good movie, definitely a great family movie. See more Colleen W 1h Ran a bit slow in some parts. Could have been shorter. See more Read all reviews
