It's been announced that Phil Lord and Christopher Miller's film will be streaming on subscription service MGM+ from Thursday 18 June – so just one week from now. It's expected that it will eventually also be available to watch on Prime Video, although we don't have an exact date for that now.

Meanwhile, the film is already available to rent and buy on a number of VOD platforms – including Prime Video and YouTube – with prices currently starting at £4.99 for rental and £9.99 for purchase.

Back in April, Miller had confirmed plans to extend the film's run in cinemas, writing on X: "MGM is extending the exclusive theatrical window for Project Hail Mary so it won’t be on streaming anytime soon."

The acclaimned film is adapted from Andy Weir's novel of the same name with Ryan Gosling starring as astronaut Ryland Grace, who awakens from a coma in space with no idea who he is, how he got there or what mission he's expected to accomplish.

Throughout the film – and with help from some extended flashbacks – we slowly learn the vital nature of his mission, while he also bonds with an adorable, rock-based alien named Rocky whose been sent to outer space by his own planet for a similar goal.

In our 4-star review of the film, Radio Times called it "science fiction with a reassuring soul, where the sombre comes bearing a smile, and the vastness of space is never quite so scary when you’re sharing it with a new pal."

Currently, the film is the third highest-grossing film of the year at the global box office – behind only The Super Mario Galaxy Movie and Michael – having made a total of $681 million.

Project Hail Mary is now showing in UK cinemas.
