Project Hail Mary praised in 70mm screenings

moviesMay 16, 202644434

Project Hail Mary, starring Ryan Gosling as Ryland Grace, is drawing praise in 70mm screenings for its sweeping cinematic visuals and the tactile portrayal of the alien Rocky. Viewers compare its scale and emotional reach to Interstellar while noting the film maintains a more focused, hopeful human story. Many are urging theatrical viewing because 70mm preserves practical effects, scale, and the intimacy of Rocky and Ryland's relationship, making the movie feel bigger and more immediate on the big screen.

Omg yes! Literally one of the few films I seen in years where I was actually happy I spent the time and money to see in theaters. They absolutely nailed it!

It made me extremely happy how science was treated in the movie, and especially how Grace is such a human character! No cold and edgy intelligence ultimatum. He's just a sweetheart good at science, very good. Love him ᵕ᷄≀ ̠ᵕ᷅ ❤

I’m streaming Project Hail Mary in my discord server in 1.5 hours if you feel like joining me. Microphones and cameras are usually off and we use text chat to talk so it’s introvert friendly 🫶🏻

Grace Rocky Save Stars. (Recently bought a collage book of space and some old astronomy stickers, so had to do a little homage to PHM.) #magpiesketches #projecthailmary

Its BS that there isn't even a physical media release date announced for Project Hail Mary yet. Like fucking hell I'm gonna pay Amazon $19.99 to RENT it or $25 to own it digitally. Gimme a goddamn physical release already BezosCorp

Hey, you know how we as a society got together and made the really fun, clever, and sweet Project Hail Mary into a hit? Let’s also go out and make the really fun, clever, and sweet The Sheep Detectives a hit too.

I had a wonderful date night / day with my partner @duayinepu.bsky.social. She begged me to make pancakes for breakfast. Got a babysitter for my mom. Got dressed up and went out for Indian food for dinner followed by seeing Project Hail Mary in theater, which we both loved. It was a beautiful day.

A warm scrapbook-style illustrated collage commemorates a romantic date day and night. At the center, a smiling couple poses closely together forming a heart shape with their hands. The woman has long auburn-brown hair and wears a floral black cardigan over a black shirt. The bearded person has gray hair tied in a bun, a long gray beard, and wears an unbuttoned green floral Hawaiian shirt with an undershirt.

Surrounding panels depict moments from the day:

• A pancake breakfast with syrup, berries, butter, and a steaming mug labeled “PANCAKE CHEF,” beside a handwritten note about begging for pancakes.
• A babysitter scene showing a Black woman with long braids warmly sitting beside a heavy older woman in a wheelchair.
• The couple dressed up together outdoors beneath string lights.
• A cozy Indian dinner with curry bowls, naan, drinks, and candlelight.
• A movie theater scene showing the couple from behind watching “PROJECT HAIL MARY” on a large screen with space imagery and an astronaut.

Handwritten notes, flowers, sparkles, hearts, and textured watercolor-style shading give the image the feeling of a sentimental handmade memory collage. At the bottom, text reads: “Date Night to Remember ♥ 05.15.2026”.

Project Hail Mary je upravo ono što sam i mislio da je. Lijeno i neorginalno otaljan film koji je bez pretjeranog truda sklepan direktno za streaming kao Gosling vehicle. Činjenica da je ogroman hit samo govori o tome koliko su se standardi svega snizili. 6/10 bilo bi i manje al ima lijepih scena

Project Hail Mary should have used Gonna Fly Now (Rocky theme) at the climax.
