3.5/5
At 2½ hours plus, it also has its longueurs but there are some spectacularly beautiful moments and Gosling makes an engaging companion who makes something poignant as well as funny out of Grace’s unwelcome elevation to hero status. Go to Full Review

Like the space mission named in its title, Project Hail Mary pulls off a seemingly impossible task, combining big-budget Hollywood spectacle with small-scale craft. Go to Full Review

An all-to-rare occasion for the whole family to go out and enjoy an adventure movie that makes spectacular use of its massive canvas. ... [And I applaud its] rather simplistic lessons about the importance of cross-cultural connections and empathy. Go to Full Review

4.5/5
Ryan Gosling going to space doesn’t seem like anything crazy, but a good dose of humor, science, and heart make Project Hail Mary a must-see. Go to Full Review
Alan Ng Film Threat 2d
8.5/10
What makes Project Hail Mary click is that it balances both science and suspense. Like The Martian, the fun comes from watching a smart character get dropped into one impossible problem after another and then watching him science his way out. Go to Full Review

vando 1h Great movie. They did a really great job of bringing the book to life See more MBaughman 4h Great movie that follows the fantastic book that it's based on fairly closely. See more Blake 4h Funnier than I thought it was gonna be but it just kinda got out of hand for me as far as the whole alien life form thing. Didnt make much sense to me but I guess everybodys version of an alien is different. See more Maya 4h I went into this movie completely blind and it ended up being one of the best movies iv ever seen See more Jennifer B 4h The BEST movie I’ve seen in a long time! Definitely go see this in a theater. See more Yer K 5h damn good movie! worth it! See more Read all reviews
