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.

Big themes. Big emotions. A lead who personifies grace. Add Project Hail Mary to the ranks of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Interstellar and Gravity as one of the most visually stunning, emotionally resonant space films ever made.

At heart, this is a kids’ film in the guise of a 156-minute sci-fi adventure. It doesn’t want to awe us so much as it wants to awwww us. For better and worse, it succeeds.

I didn’t really mind the ridiculousness, though. The film is so much fun. It tugs at the heartstrings often, and Rocky is so brilliantly animated to the point of complete believability. Gosling is great.

There's something therapeutic about this gentle form of 'troubleshooting cinema', where in the end, the only tension is whether the film will end before it overstays its welcome.

A space epic that at its core is really just a humble flick about a movie star and his best pal the space rock.

It was everything a movie should be—depicting the frailty of the human condition, overcoming fear, friendship and sacrificing for the greater good. It was a brilliant adaptation of the book. The cinematography was a feast for the human eye. I laughed, I cried, and I rooted for ALL the characters. Loved it!
