Project Hail Mary

"Project Hail Mary is a fantastic blockbuster; it is fun, insightful, and heartwarming, and it has just good vibes all around. Ryan Gosling is just amazing in the role, and his comedic timing might be the film's greatest asset."

"Project Hail Mary is an ingenious, humane sci-fi film driven by an unlikely friendship, demonstrating how intellect, isolation, and unexpected human connection can create a compelling narrative."

"Project Hail Mary is a refreshing science fiction film that beautifully balances scientific intrigue with heartfelt emotion, showcasing Ryan Gosling's nuanced performance at its core."

"Project Hail Mary doesn't just adapt a difficult book, it enhances it, taking its best bits and making it soar. Ryan Gosling brings a disarming vulnerability to Grace, resisting the urge to turn him into a conventional hero. The result is a film that feels buoyant even when grappling with extinction-level stakes."

"Like the best crowd-pleasers, Project Hail Mary makes you laugh, it makes you weep a little, it keeps you riveted and then leaves you with a big smile by the end. At its core, Project Hail Mary is a deeply human story wrapped in a science fiction setting, featuring a very likeable Ryan Gosling in the lead."

"Because not only is Project Hail Mary different, but it is also surprisingly better looking than Nolan's Interstellar. There are flaws, but the charm of the protagonist and the visual magic are enough to compensate for that in what is arguably the best big-screen experience this year so far."

"What starts off as a scientific mission to save the Sun is, at the heart of it, essentially a feel-good buddy movie. However, Project Hail Mary's insistence on being sunny side up, in the face of the darkness coming mankind's way, dilutes the urgency that is fuelling this desperate mission."

"Ryan Gosling leads a warm and emotional sci-fi film that blends humour and hope but plays it a little too safe at times"

"Phil Lord and Christopher Miller have made another bright, buoyant, summer blockbuster that relishes in its nerdy delights and reminds us why going to the movies will always slap. Gosling understands this calibration instinctively, shaping Grace as a man devoid of any semblance of heroic resolve, defined instead by a series of small, often reluctant choices that accumulate into something resembling courage."

"Project Hail Mary is an easygoing science-fiction movie about a heavyweight subject - the end of the world. Ryan Gosling shines in this unserious space mission, with his unlikely friendship with an alien Rocky becoming the core of the movie."
