After a prerelease screening, domestic media and critics have offered glowing praise such as "Project Hail Mary is more fun than the movie The Martian! I strongly recommend seeing it in theaters" (SF writer Kwak Jae-sik), "Carl Sagan and director Kubrick would be moved" (critic Park Pyeong-sik), "A mainstream, family-friendly sci-fi film as much as The Martian. I recommend heading to the theater," "It easily surpasses the emotion and excitement of Interstellar and The Martian. It will be remembered as one of the most powerful cinematic experiences of the year," and "An emotional sci-fi blockbuster visiting theaters this spring," and general audiences have also been passing along enthusiastic recommendations. Riding that momentum, it is expected to further boost its box office power as a must-see film for March theaters.
The film "Project Hail Mary" follows "Grace" (Ryan Gosling), who wakes up alone in the middle of space with no memory and embarks on a final mission to save humanity from an apocalyptic threat, and will open domestically on Wednesday, March 18.
