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.

“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.

What’s not to like? Well, there’s the fact that Project Hail Mary so desperately wants to be loved. For all the heart-warming button-pushing, there’s something off-putting about a picture so aggressively feelgood.

Project Hail Mary is the unique kind of triumph that you can recommend to everyone. Even idiots. Especially idiots.

3.5/5

It has scale, heart, and a lead performance that does a lot of heavy lifting. At the same time, it plays things a little too safe, choosing charm over complexity and warmth over weight.

The ending might strike some viewers as a little too hopeful — almost like a children’s film. But maybe that’s exactly why it works. Cynicism is easy. Hope requires imagination.

A movie worth seeing in IMAX, the price of two drinks with large poocorn nearly equalled the cost of a pair of tickets.

This is my favorite book of the last few years. I was very worried about a film adaptation. I've been hurt before. This adaptation is flawless. I loved it. It was a little too long, but I'm not sure what they could have cut. See it in IMAX if you can.

Very well done and fun to watch. True to the book except a few minor non-impacting differences at the end.
