The year’s most heartfelt sci-fi epic has officially launched on streaming.

Phil Lord and Christopher Miller’s *Project Hail Mary* is a shining example of hope in the sci-fi genre, and it has been raking in the box office since its release on March 20. This grand space adventure is best experienced in a bustling theater, which is why Amazon MGM Studios decided to extend its theatrical run in mid-April.

Fans of Andy Weir were encouraged to hold tight for the film’s streaming release, and that wait is finally over. As of May 12, you can now enjoy *Project Hail Mary* from the comfort of your own home.

This isn’t the first time Weir’s exceptional sci-fi storytelling has made waves on the big screen. His previous novel, *The Martian*, which follows an astronaut stranded on Mars, was transformed into a gripping tale of survival by Ridley Scott in 2015. While *The Martian* delves into deeper themes of resilience, *Project Hail Mary* shines a light on the power of friendship and the wonders of scientific exploration.

Set in 2032, the story follows Ryland Grace, portrayed by the endlessly charismatic Ryan Gosling, who awakens from a coma to discover he is the last survivor aboard a spaceship far from Earth. As his memories return, he realizes he’s on a mission to save Earth from a mysterious organism threatening the Sun. The plot thickens when Grace encounters another astronaut from a distant solar system facing a similar crisis, and together they embark on a mission fueled by science.

While *Project Hail Mary* makes a few minor tweaks to Weir’s original narrative, it remains largely true to the source material, with Weir himself serving as a producer. The directing duo of Lord and Miller injects the film with a lively energy that, while occasionally bordering on overly sweet, is primarily just a blast—especially in the interactions between Grace and his alien companion.

If you missed *Project Hail Mary* in theaters or want to catch it again, now’s your chance—at least until it becomes available for free streaming for all Prime subscribers.
