Project Hail Mary is the first movie to bring me to the theaters in an embarrassing amount of time. So long I’m not willing to disclose it on the internet. But I am so glad it’s the film that brought me back to the theater because it was So. Dang. Good.

The book was a masterpiece and I’m happy to report that Drew Goddard’s adaptation of Andy Weir’s novel (of the same name) does it justice. Sure, it took some liberties with the story, but it makes for a faster-paced, more emotional journey. Plus, I’m not mad about a lot of the science babble getting cut.

It stars a witty, impeccably dressed Ryan Gosling as Ryland Grace and an adorable rock spider alien named Rocky (voiced by James Oritz).

Project Hail Mary made its theatrical debut on March 20, 2026 and can still be seen in theaters across the country, but now the film is expanding its horizons and giving you another way to tune in. Here’s everything you need to know in order to watch Grace and Rocky at home.

What is Project Hail Mary about?

Middle school science teacher Ryland Grace (Gosling) wakes up from a coma on a spacecraft (the Hail Mary) with no memory of who he is or why he’s there. As his memory slowly returns, he realizes he’s the sole survivor of a crew on a suicide mission to save Earth from alien microorganisms (astrophage) that are eating the sun’s energy. Can his science skills and perseverance help him save humanity?

When will Project Hail Mary be streaming?

Amazon MGM Studios announced in mid-April that it was delaying the streaming release for Project Hail Mary and extending its theatrical run. The film even returned to IMAX theaters for a week to give audiences a chance to see the film in the way it was originally intended.

“We announced yesterday that MGM is extending the exclusive theatrical window for Project Hail Mary, so it won’t be on streaming anytime soon,” Co-director Christopher Miller said in a post on X. “This is a movie that needs to be seen on a big screen…make plans to see it in a theater now! Bring friends and loved ones. It’s an experience to share with others.”

It’s not following the same theater-to-streaming trajectory as other Amazon MGM films, but I can see why
