‘Project Hail Mary’ Review: Could Ryan Gosling Be Our Savior?

Ryan Gosling and alien Rocky team up in a high-stakes mission to save Earth and an alien world from a dying sun, featuring the longest IMAX 70mm runtime to date.

  • On March 20, Project Hail Mary premieres in theaters nationwide, with early IMAX 70mm screenings at Harkins Arizona Mills from March 13-15, starring Ryan Gosling as Dr. Ryland Grace and directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller.
  • Prompted by the discovery of Astrophage, scientists send a spaceship to Tau Ceti, where Ryland Grace wakes with no memory and dead crewmates, tasked with saving Earth.
  • Practically-Minded choices—few green screens and a puppet for Rocky—bring realism, with at least 3/4 of the 156-minute runtime in IMAX 70mm and James Ortiz performing Rocky.
  • Reviewers singled out Ryan Gosling's performance, calling Project Hail Mary a must-see with a 7.5/10 score and predicting Sandra Hüller an Oscar nomination in 11 months.
  • Framed as $200 million popular entertainment, the film channels The Martian lineage, using Eridian xenonite to dramatize existential stakes: saving Earth.
