Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald 1d
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. Go to Full Review

3/4
Praise Gosling for carrying the film and taking inquisitive folks along with him. Go to Full Review
Dana Stevens Slate 2d
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. Go to Full Review
Nicholas Bell Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) 1d
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. Go to Full Review

Dorothy Woodend The Tyee (British Columbia) 5d
Adapted from Andy Weir’s 2021 novel, the film stays true to the major plot points of Weir’s work, with the bonus addition of Gosling’s incontrovertible charm to add to the action. Go to Full Review

Howie 1h A long movie, very good. You have to figure out some of the story, but it is fairly easy to do so. Grace must make a decision for himself that brings all of the movie into the end. See more Kimberly N 1h My family of 5 just saw this amazing movie!! It was totally fun and entertaining the entire way through. No unnecessary language, violence or sex - just really good movie making. More of this please!! See more Mala M @RT73227936 1h Did not live up to the hype for me. I thought it was too long and unserious. Reminded me more of ET. I pictured alien species being more intelligent than humans. Graphics were good and kindof cool. Just okay for me. See more TIM 1h This movie is outstanding. Would recommend for family viewing (kids 13? And older). Not like the standard boring kill creatures from space movies. Ryan Gosling is amazing. Lots of turns and twists . See more Nathan 1h Excellent IMAX Experience, clean theater, seats were awesome!! couldnt ask for a better experience See more MAC 1h Very good adaptation of an excellent book/story. Stayed true to form by using the flashbacks to Earth. Strong performance by Gosling (and Rocky!), touching and thought provoking. See more Read all reviews
