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 film is not quite the masterpiece its grand visual scale sometimes suggests it’s shooting for. Still, it’s pretty consistently enjoyable, with a message that the viewing public could afford to hear.

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.

Project Hail Mary feels like the antithesis of its title.Instead of being a gamble, it plays like the best, most epic, populist title of the year. it is so brashly accessible, it is anything but a Hail Mary. Unforgettable from start to finish.

3.5/5

All the tropes, whether they are mysterious planets or a dangerous spacewalk, are in service of something far simpler. At its core, Project Hail Mary is a buddy comedy.

Although it’s possible PROJECT HAIL MARY doesn’t have quite the gravitas some of the story’s darker and more philosophical corners offer, its constellation of stars remains resolutely undimmed.
