A star rating of 4 out of 5.
Terry Staunton
Ryan Gosling's mild-mannered science teacher heads to the far end of the galaxy in search of a solution to a dying sun that threatens life on Earth in this joyful and engaging sci-fi. The reluctant amateur astronaut negotiates tricky hurdles as his craft journeys through space, eventually teaming up with an alien whose own planet is facing a similar plight - a stone-like creature whom he names Rocky. Drew Goddard's screenplay is adapted from a novel by Andy Weir, the same pairing that brought us 2015's The Martian, and there are obvious parallels to be drawn between Gosling and Matt Damon in the earlier film. However, Project Hail Mary morphs into a buddy movie of sorts with the introduction of Rocky, taking the narrative more towards the family friendly sense of wonderment of Steven Spielberg's extraterrestrial tales. Gosling's boyish charm and charisma hold everything together, never allowing the jeopardy of his character's predicament to overwhelm a heart-warming yarn with a rich seam of humour.
