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.

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.

an uplifting adventure about learning you really do have the right stuff. Including breathtaking IMAX imagery, this big-hearted sci-fi story hinges on an enchanting interstellar friendship that doesn’t hit one false note.

We DO come to this place for magic, and even with a some missteps along the way, Project Hail Mary successfully launches audiences into space, taking us all on a magical journey worth seeing on the big screen. (Project) Hail Mary full of Grace, indeed.

It may not be perfect, and it may be 20 minutes too long, but it does what the best space exploration movies do: make you feel small in the scheme of the universe while somehow embigening our sense of what we might contribute to it.
