Project Hail Mary

“Every time I go to the movies, I remember how much I love going to the movies. This one is a real crowd pleaser…treat yourself and see it in IMAX — or better yet — *4DX*”

“My bf told me it was based on a true story WHICH WAS CRUEL AND HE DIDNT TELL ME IT WSSNT UNTIL AFTER?!!!!!”

“As if I thought Ryan Gosling couldn’t be more charming, he plays such an endearing character in this film. I’m not really an alien space movie gyal, but this one is up there with Mac and Me tbh (anyone remember that one?). Such a delightful story, hopeful and sad and hopeful again. 10/10”

“Ok, hear me out. Our kids generally don’t get to see big budget set piece movies because they are too scary, violent, confusing or otherwise emotionally manipulative in a way that feels bad for them. Despite the stakes of this movie (humanity) and the two dead astronauts at the beginning, we watched this first and then decided everyone would enjoy it and it would spark great questions and discussion. For example, the funerals for the astronauts are emotionally honest and handled well. (worth watching first to find your threshold but spoilers that are worth knowing to reassure the little ones: rocky doesn’t die, there’s a happy ending and the ship doesn’t crash)”

“Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling), venturing outside of his spacecraft, is surrounded by the shimmering particles of an alien swarm. For a moment, the ominous becomes transcendent.”

“I'm really not a fan of space movies but something about Anthony Weir speaks to me - loved The Martian too! Funny, kind of sad - TW (and kind of SPOILER ALERT) there is a part where he's chased and pinned down and it's not exactly violent but it could be triggering? but all in all such a heart-warming movie love love love”

“I listened to the book and liked it but LOVED the movie! It is definitely one to see in theaters because the collective effervescence is off-the-charts! I haven’t seen a theater so packed since pre-Covid 🥹🥹🥹 Also definitely one you could bring an older elementary school child to as long as they don’t get overly spooked by suspenseful moments. My 8.5 year old loved it and she rarely likes non-animated films!”

“is it a compliment that there’s a rock as charming as ryan gosling? or is it an insult that ryan gosling is as charming as a rock? idk but this is a good as heck adaptation of a book i also loved.”

“Incredible film”

“Great audiobook!”

“just wow! you’ll laugh, you’ll cry. it’s got everything! guaranteed favourite”

“this is good science fiction! this is perfect!”

“Ok basic ahh rec ik… but seriously if you haven’t seen it yet you need to. I think this is the best movie ive seen in years i seriously loved every minute i laughed i cried and i am obsessed. Go watch”
