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.

It’s very Ted Lasso in space, a funny and heartwarming crowdpleaser about sad men making friends, which on the flip side is lacking tension, antagonism and conflict.

Project Hail Mary is at its core a kids’ movie. That lessens its gravity, a bit. But it also makes it the kind of film that will send happy viewers soaring into orbit, again and again.

2.5/4

It’s funny and absorbing and familiar without being derivative; it gets the job done. But there’s nevertheless something grinding and mechanical about a film that means to be a tribute to the supple, subtle qualities of the human spirit.

There’s a stunning space sequence, blending in a kaleidoscope of colors with a whirl of motion and sound. With a joyous, comical undertone, heartrending poignancy, beautiful visual and masterful score, "Project Hail Mary" is a marvel of a project.

I really enjoyed this movie. It kept me engaged the entire time. Ryan Gosling was amazing. There were a couple of vary far-fetched things, but I could let those go because I liked everything else.

The main character played by Ryan Gosling was silly at times but its probably more common than not. He also had alot of ingenuity to develop rapport and conversation as well as a connection with a being he had no knowledge of. This was a good trip down a path most people would not experience pr learn from i less they saw this portrayal. Excellent project.
