International critics have shared their initial impressions of the highly anticipated sci-fi feature Project Hail Mary. The film, led by Ryan Gosling, is scheduled to arrive in theaters on March 20.
Early reviews are already hailing the movie as “the year’s first genuine blockbuster” and a “cinematic masterpiece” with serious potential for the upcoming awards season. Directed by the creative duo Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (known for 21 Jump Street), the film earned praise for its “profound humanity bolstered by breathtaking visual effects,” its “narrative ambition,” and a “seamless blend of humor, scientific intrigue, drama, and high-stakes suspense.”
Ryan Gosling’s “exceptional” performance and “galactic-tier charisma” have been highlighted as standout elements of the production. Project Hail Mary is based on the acclaimed novel by Andy Weir, the author of The Martian. The story follows a schoolteacher who awakens aboard a spacecraft and soon realizes he is humanity’s last hope to avoid total extinction. During his mission, he finds an unlikely ally in an extraterrestrial being that communicates through the language of music.
