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.

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.

“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.

Project Hail Mary is one of those giant, crowd-pleasing event movies that justifies the existence of movie theaters by being so gorgeously lensed that it demands audiences see it on the biggest screen possible.

This is a well-told story. 'The Martian' irritated some viewers with its loose interpretation of science, but Project Hail Mary is more fictional, and hence more forgiving.

Project Hail Mary is a rare piece of large-scale science fiction that chooses optimism without irony.

Definitely a feel good movie. I really enjoyed it. Laughed, wanted to cry, my urge to kill faded. I didn't read the book, but I wish I did.

We very much enjoyed the movie. It was very interesting and heartwarming at the same time. The AMC IMAX theater - not so much. The sound was so loud that I needed to place a rolled up napkin in each ear. It took some time and searching for the AMC theater to locate our tickets. They also told us that they prefer that their guests use the AMC app and not the Fandango app for such purposes. We will NOT be going to this location again on Signal Butte in Mesa, AZ.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been so looking forward to a movie and have been so disappointed. If you are expecting a quality film on par with the Martian, don’t waste your time. This is basically a three hour bromance between Ryan Gosling and a rock. In it is too far-fetched to be believable.( for example they kidnap a goofy scientist and put him on a spaceship against his will in a coma because he resisted going in the first place cause he knows nothing about being an astronaut. Guess what he wakes up and now knows how to run a spaceship.!) In trying to be both a serious science fiction movie, and a comedic fantasy, it ends up being neither and it’s just a huge waste of time.

It was a great story. Felt as though it could have been edited a little more. It was too long. Loved the casting.
