PROJECT HAIL MARY (2026) Movie Review

PLOT: A school teacher (Ryan Gosling) with a doctorate in molecular biology wakes up on a spaceship light years away from home with no idea how he got there. Slowly, he begins to realize he’s been sent on an Earth-saving mission from which he will never be able to return.

REVIEW: Rarely has a studio had as much faith in a movie as Amazon/MGM seems to have with Project Hail Mary, the biggest film they’ve produced since the streamer started to ramp up its theatrical release calendar. Based on the novel by Andy Weir (The Martian) and directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (the Spider-Verse films, 21 & 22 Jump Street), the film has not only been getting a lot of word-of-mouth screenings, but this weekend it’s set to play a limited 70mm engagement a week before it goes wide. Clearly the studio is convinced they have a winner, and having finally seen the film for myself, I’m inclined to agree.
