Project Hail Mary was officially added to the Prime Video streaming library by Amazon MGM Studios on July 3, 2026. The film first premiered on Premium Video on Demand in May and then on MGM+ in June. The movie’s arrival on Prime Video is the latest part of Amazon’s phased streaming strategy, giving millions of Prime members the ability to watch the movie as part of their subscription. Project Hail Mary took a longer release path than many recent Amazon MGM releases that raced to Prime Video, maximising its theatrical and premium digital performance before hitting subscribers.
What Is Project Hail Mary About
Project Hail Mary is based on Andy Weir’s international bestselling novel. The film stars Ryan Gosling as Ryland Grace, a middle-school science teacher who wakes up alone on a spacecraft with no memory of how he got there.
Grace learns that his memories are slowly returning, and that he has been sent on a remarkable mission to save Earth from a mysterious organism that is draining energy from the Sun. He teams up with an alien called Rocky and together they create one of the most memorable and emotional storylines in the film.
Ryan Gosling Leads a Star-Studded Cast
Ryan Gosling leads the sci-fi adventure alongside Sandra Hüller, James Ortiz and Lionel Boyce. The film is helmed by the director duo Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, who gave us the Lego Movie and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Drew Goddard wrote the screenplay, and he also adapted Andy Weir’s The Martian for the screen. Goddard has praised Lord and Miller for keeping the science but also adding humanity and emotion to the story.
Box Office Success Made It One of 2026’s Biggest Films
Project Hail Mary was among the biggest commercial successes of the year before it landed on OTT. The film made about $683.5 million globally with around $344 million domestically and $339.5 million overseas. It also became the biggest opening for Amazon MGM Studios at the time, beating previous studio records and outgrossing the lifetime global earnings of The Martian. Its solid financial performance demonstrated that original science-fiction films can still find large theatrical audiences when they are supported by good reviews and strong word-of-mouth.
Critical Response and Audience Reception
Project Hail Mary is one of the most well-reviewed blockbuster releases of 2026, currently holding 94% from critics and 95% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. Reviewers have pointed to Ryan Gosling’s performance, the emotional connection between Grace and Rocky and the mix of science, humour and heart in the film.
Is Project Hail Mary Worth Streaming
For those who missed it in theatres, the Prime Video release is the perfect opportunity to watch one of the most buzzed-about sci-fi adventures of the year. If you’re a fan of Andy Weir’s books, Ryan Gosling’s acting skills or big space movies, Project Hail Mary has all the ingredients of a great sci-fi story with some emotional moments and some awesome visual effects thrown in. Now with its worldwide streaming debut, the film is sure to find an even larger audience on Prime Video.
