Overview
Science teacher Ryland Grace wakes up on a spaceship light years from home with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. As his memory returns, he begins to uncover his mission: solve the riddle of the mysterious substance causing the sun to die out. He must call on his scientific knowledge and unorthodox ideas to save everything on Earth from extinction.
When times are tough and world-weary souls have looked for an avenue of escapism to retreat from their woes, worries and weltschmerz, they’ve often flocked to the movies to relieve that pent-up pressure. And, at a time when it feels like the world is going to you-know-where in a you-know-what (like ...
I think this might be my favourite sci-fi film since “Galaxy Quest” (1999) and like that, this is a solid and entertaining story led by an actor who is quite possibly getting better looking and more charismatic as he gets older. “Grace” (Ryan Gosling) is the kind of interactive science teacher that ...
Incredible movie. So heartwarming and funny. The cinematography is gorgeous, the story is so entertaining and you get so emotionally invested to the characters. Ryan Gosling will never disappoint me.

Never read (or heard of the book but not much of a book reader aside from crime-thrillers) so I don't know anything about it, but thought this was a lot of fun with heart and Ryan Gosling was great. Hampering my experience was a girl next to me trying to get every drop of her slushie and the last 30...
Project Hail Mary is a prime example of why cinemaphiles love going to the theater. If popcorn flicks are capable of being intellectually stimulating, incredibly emotional, and monumentally worthwhile, then Project Hail Mary is the ultimate popcorn flick. https://www.giantfreakinrobot.com/ent/sci...
Project Hail Mary presents itself as a modern science fiction centered on the classic mission to save the world, or in this case, multiple worlds. During his journey, the protagonist is joined by the likable Rocky, a character used to further lighten the tone and distract from a plot that evolves th...
The best movie I've seen in years, by a longshot. Highly recommend seeing this one in the theater too, the sound is incredible. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)
Great visuals and humor, but they took out many elements that made the book distinct from a generic "hero saves the world" story, and made Grace and Stratt palatable to an unnecessary extent.
Well, first half of the movie feels a bit stretched and not very engaging. But the second half was more interesting and has a great audio backing. The visuals like camera and VFX are excellent and a pleasure to watch. I think its a great movie for everyone, who loves scifi or simply wants to see...
The film adaptation of Project Hail Mary is a masterclass in how to translate a high-concept sci-fi premise into a deeply moving cinematic experience. While the technical aspects and the scale of the cosmic mission are undeniably impressive, the true strength of the film lies in its profound emotion...
Boring, waist of time. poor excuse for sci fi. pixar joke movie for kids maybe. but thought provoking, intelligent sci fi it is not. From the first scene, the slap stick tone sets the scene for the whole movie. was the director too scared of space where no one hears you scream? The dual timeline did...
This movie is not perfect, but is is tense, and abstract, and deeply funny. It is essentially a one-person narrative with some cgi to act with, and Ryan pulls it off well. The story is strange and intriguing, as is the companion protagonist, making the movie very enjoyable. It is just a fun sci-fi a...
3 out of ALL stars! A very unpleasant movie. During marketing it was presented as 'sophisticated' science fiction evoking Interstellar. In execution it's like Jim Hanson's Interstellar, an episode of 80s Sesame Street with a money-press budget. Mistake? Confusion? Narcotics? Nefarious nihilism? Y...
3/10 roentgen, not great, not terrible. The premise is absurd and completely lacking credibility and that shows in the performances - the actors are there to read their lines and be done with it. The worst is, of course, the inconvincing and unrelatable replay by Gosling of what we've seen in anothe...
