This Ryan Gosling sci-fi adventure has audiences charmed by its unexpected blend of humor and heart, with many praising it as a refreshing departure from typical heavy sci-fi fare. While viewers consistently rave about Gosling's exceptional solo performance and the adorable character Rocky, some find the pacing occasionally sluggish and the story familiar despite stunning visuals.

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.

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.
