Movie Info & Cast
Synopsis
Science teacher Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling) 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… but an unexpected friendship means he may not have to do it alone.

Moviegoers are saying
This Ryan Gosling-led sci-fi adventure has audiences praising his exceptional performance in what many call a 'nearly one-man show' that masterfully blends humor, heart, and stunning visual effects. While viewers consistently celebrate the emotional rollercoaster and the beloved character Rocky, some find the pacing slow initially and wish for a tighter runtime.

woody lovedProject Hail MaryThis film was amaze, amaze, amaze! Absolutely beautiful and brilliant. The movie correlated with the book very well but also had some spin offs in its own way that I loved to see. One of the best films of this decade, definitely must see in theaters! Lots of jazz hands to this!

Beautiful movie that’ll make you shed tears for a virtual rock. Thank you to Chief Saqif for the opportunity and the pleasure of enjoying this cinematic experience. ADG is also a snake.
Mark Bateman lovedProject Hail Mary10/10 This film provides all the highs/lows/laughs and tears (it’s “ET” meets “Interstellar”). The special effects were spot on and Gosling outstanding- this best to date. Recommend.

Laughed and cried! Ryan Gosling was out standing and so was Rocky.
MKMichael Koehletawesome movie though reading the book helped fill-in some things that were glossed over or not addressed at all. I'll be seeing it again, soon.
TCTrace ChmielewskiGosling was fantastic, the VFX and practical effects looked amazing, and Rocky is the 🐐. Please see this movie!

Loved this movie
KPKhalaun PhillipsThis was a good movie for these reasons, great visual, lighthearted, funniness, and theme. However, I find myself underwhelmed by the storytelling but I haven’t read the book
JHJustin HowardPredictable and dumb and too long

Metacritic
Mar 20, 2026
In the most purely pleasurable movie so far this year, Ryan Gosling has a blast as a science guy who rockets into space to save all our asses with jolts, jokes and smarts that won’t quit.

Lord Miller's film is a remarkable achievement.
Gregory Nussen
Screen Rant
Mar 10, 2026
Over two-and-a-half hours, the duo’s film gazes in wonder at alien engineering, opens its heart to human vulnerability through karaoke, and makes the case that inspiring the next generation (or at least perpetuating its existence) is alluring enough to shake the smarmiest manchildren from their self-imposed exile. Most effectively, though, Project Hail Mary sees a personal sense of humor shine through the bludgeoning grandeur of a AAA sci-fi.
