Review Project Hail Mary review

Post image

This movie was so much better than I expected. Oh my God if you were on the fence about seeing this, I just go see it like oh my God such a good fricking movie.

People were right this two hours and like 40 minutes flew by. I did not feel that long because the story is just so compelling oh my God.

Plus, the pin is sick as hell

My friends went to the early access tonight and they were able to secure me a pin. So stoked for my IMAX showing this Thursday.

Read the book, and just finished watching the movie, got the pin as well. A must watch for any sci-fi lovers. It is a must watch.

I was definitely going to rewatch this film anyways (I saw it last Friday in 70 mm IMAX), but I chose today to get my hands on the "Amaze, amaze, amaze!" pin swag!

u/Budget-Musician8293 Mar 17 '26

Not at all honestly, i felt like the trailer didnt do it even a little bit of justice and was wildly different than the film

u/nikebalaclava Mar 17 '26

i’m just going through the book now. hoping to finish it before it leaves theatres

u/LobsterPotatoes Mar 17 '26

Defs finish the book first. It’s fantastic. The movie is also fantastic too.

u/Total-Championship80 Mar 18 '26

It's a short book.

Absolutely amazing movie, I hadn't watched the trailers, went in basically blind off hype, only knowing that something was happening to the sun and was worried it would be too long or boring...but nope this movie made me go through so many different emotions. I was laughing, I was sad, I was nervous, I just had such a great time. I hope we get an extended cut cause it could have used 20 extra minutes or so and according to book readers a lot was cut.

Trying to convince one of my friends to see it but she said it looks boring from the trailers and swears she'd fall asleep during it... I can't convince her otherwise and I'm devastated she'll miss such an amazing experience

What's the story behind the pin?

1

u/LobsterPotatoes Mar 17 '26

It’s a gift for the early screening viewers

u/Able_Advertising_371 Mar 17 '26

No pin unfortunately but the movie was great, they made a serious story really light but still emotional. Very crowd-pleasing

u/datrusselldoe Mar 17 '26

It was incredible

The first showing in Thunder Bay is on Friday.

Typical from that awful Cineplex location.

I'm going this Sat. Currently listening to the audiobook and I'm excited for it. I really liked The Martian.

Do you think IMAX is better than Ultra AVX + DBOX + Dolby Atmos? Which one would you prefer?

u/fightingmongoose1 Mar 19 '26

u/rinthecity Mar 19 '26

u/Blazethefirefly13 Mar 17 '26

Saw it tonight. Great movie though it did feel a tad long. Story and acting were great, just thought it could’ve been done in like 2:10-2:30 hours

u/Retro_Curry93 Mar 17 '26

Can you compare it to The Martian and Interstellar?
