I just watched Project Hail Mary, here’s why it’s one of the best movies of the year

Directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller have delivered one of the must-see movies of 2026 with the new sci-fi comedy, Project Hail Mary. Based on the novel by Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary begins with Dr. Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling) waking on a spaceship with no memory of who he is. He eventually remembers that he was sent into space to help prevent the Sun and humanity from dying, and he befriends a “crab-rock” alien (James Ortiz) on a similar quest.

Driven by a talented cast and crew, Project Hail Mary delivers a massive, majestic blockbuster that blends a thrilling alien adventure with heartfelt human drama. Fans of classic sci-fi movies like The Martian, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and Interstellar will enjoy Project Hail Mary, which has already established itself as a modern masterpiece.
