Project Hail Mary

"It’s the science-fiction blockbuster we need in these fractious times: an anthem to resilience and co-operation that seeks solutions and rejects exceptionalism (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" 

"A hugely entertaining — and just plain huge — surprise (...) The film is so much fun. It tugs at the heartstrings often, and Rocky is so brilliantly animated to the point of complete believability. Gosling is great. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)" 

"Combining the best aspects of “Interstellar” and “The Martian,” but more satisfying in the end than either, this 2 ½-hour epic Christian allegory recreates the same mix as the best Steven Spielberg fantasies—wonder, adventure, humor, warmth and pathos, all infused with a child’s sensibility." 

"Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, directing their first film in 12 years, have returned with a crowd-pleasing wonder (...) [It's] fabulous and impressive and breathtaking cinema." 

"Ryan Gosling proves he can have chemistry with a rock in thrilling Space Odyssey warmed by humanity and hope" 

"It’s a masterpiece of a family popcorn movie, with eye-popping hand-crafted production design and outstanding creature design and puppetry work. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)" 

"Phil Lord and Christopher Miller's lone-astronaut saga wants to be "Interstellar" meets "E.T.," but it's too long and too cutely formulaic."
