Project Hail Mary (2026)

 

Loved it. A nerdy space flick that puts in the work with the science and storytelling, yielding emotional investment later on. Ryan Gosling is outstanding. No one could have done it better. So much is conveyed through his eyes and facial expressions. He is effortlessly funny throughout the film. Incredibly witty dialogue between him and Rocky. 

I appreciated the attention to detail, like with developing the communication between Grace and Rocky. Nothing was glossed over like in other sci fi movies. Their friendship felt genuine and believable. 

Sticking the landing is the toughest thing to do in screenplays, and they nailed it. Happy, hopeful, and satisfying. Ryan Gosling deserves an Oscar nomination and the film deserves an adapted screenplay nom. 

Rating: A
