Project Hail Mary on Streaming
While there have been an alarming number of movies that get dumped on streaming just a few weeks after hitting the big screens, Project Hail Mary stands apart as a film that not only became a box office success as an original title, but it will have waited 105 days before Amazon finally makes it available for customers to stream it on their platform. According to Deadline, the hit Ryan Gosling sci-fi is ready to stream on Prime Video starting tomorrow on July 3. That should make some good entertainment for your holiday weekend!
Hail Mary
“Science teacher Ryland Grace wakes up on a spaceship with no recollection of who he is or how he got there,” reads the official synopsis. “As his memory slowly returns, he soon discovers he must solve the riddle behind a mysterious substance that’s causing the sun to die out. As details of the mission unravel, he calls on his scientific training and sheer ingenuity — but he may not have to do it alone.” The film stars Ryan Gosling, James Ortiz, Sandra Hüller, Lionel Boyce, Ken Leung, Milana Vayntrub, and more.
Full of Grace
Project Hail Mary has garnered massive amounts of acclaim, and our own Chris Bumbray thought it was well deserved. “While it runs a hefty 156 minutes, the running time zips along, with Lord and Miller having a good handle on pace,” he wrote. “It’s really an impeccably made movie, with everyone involved doing superlative work, including Daniel Pemberton, who contributes a strong score. It’s the kind of movie that deserves to become the next Sinners, so hopefully audiences will give it a shot. It’s upbeat and leaves you walking out of the theater feeling optimistic — which I think all of us could use in these rather somber times.” You can check out the rest of his review right here.
Could a sequel happen?
Project Hail Mary has been doing great at the box office, currently sitting at over $573 million worldwide. Combined with the rave reviews, the studio has naturally been thinking… sequel. Andy Weir, who wrote the novel on which the film is based, has reportedly been kicking around some ideas for a continuation, but it remains to be seen whether it will actually happen.
