A ★★★★★ review of Project Hail Mary (2026)

As a fan of the book, this adaptation hits the mark. While the final act feels compressed to fit the runtime, the spirit of the source material remains intact. The visuals and effects are sharp, especially in IMAX, which is the recommended way to view this. The heart of the story is the bond between Ryland and Rocky, and the production team captured that dynamic with precision. Ryan Gosling delivers a resonant performance; his emotional scenes are effective enough to prompt a few tears, and the humour throughout the film is a welcome surprise.

@cmconseils I agree about the final act being compressed. I’m going to be really keen to see what deleted scenes emerge and what other source material had to make way to keep it down to a suitable run time.

Really want to re-read the book again now.

@cmconseils thanks for your review! Glad to ear the spirit of the book remain intact. I enjoy the book so I hope to enjoy the film aswell !

Shit... Does that even translate literally to French?

@401matthall I read the book and saw the movie in English so that's ok!

I have to learn more languages. English and a couple of programming languages aren't cutting it anymore.

Saw it Friday: wasn't going to do the cinema thing, but there was a theatre near the facility I was getting x-rayed in and it was showing at matinee prices. Glad the stars aligned.
