REVIEW: Project Hail Mary (2026)


Listen Later

Ryan Gosling leads the charge in Project Hail Mary, the new sci-fi epic based on Andy Weir’s bestselling novel (The Martian). Directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the film blends massive interstellar spectacle with a surprisingly emotional, character-driven story.

In this spoiler-free review, I break down what makes Project Hail Mary work so well — from Gosling’s standout performance to the film’s stunning visuals and smart approach to science fiction storytelling.

If you love big, ambitious sci-fi with heart, this is a movie you’ll want to see on the biggest screen possible.
