Amazon MGM Studios' "Project Hail Mary," the science fiction blockbuster starring Ryan Gosling that launched into theaters back on March 20, 2026 is now hitting its streaming stride on Prime Video after a stop on MGM+.

The $200 million outer space saga, directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller ("The Lego Movie," "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse") and adapted from author Andy Weir's 2021 novel of the same name, made a respectable $630 million in its full theatrical run.

Despite a general jokiness and long runtime, the film was well-received by critics and audiences and now those who've held out from going to the multiplex to absorb the adventure will have a chance to catch it at home.

Gosling portrays Ryland Grace, a middle-grade teacher and molecular biologist who reluctantly gets recruited for a desperate deep space mission to try and solve a cosmic conundrum that's causing our sun to slowly dim.

Along the way to the Tau Ceti star cluster, Grace encounters a rock-skinned alien whose homeworld suffers from the same problem and together they hatch a plan to rescue their prospective planets from nasty sun-munching microbes called astrophages.

"Ryan added so much depth and layers to Ryland that I never had in the book," Weir told Space in a March interview. "And I was so happy about that because I consider character depth to be one of my biggest weaknesses as an author. I'm a plot-driven author. Seeing Ryan add all these layers, I'm like, 'Oh, good, he's covering the things that I didn’t do.' Then later I'll get credit for that character.”

"Project Hail Mary" has had a circuitous route onto home video in the aftermath of its big screen campaign, first rolling out on video-on-demand May 12, then leaping onto Amazon-owned MGM+ on June 18 for its streaming debut to help bolster subscriber numbers for that smaller platform.

And finally, the popular sci-fi epic is settling in for what's hopefully a long stay on Prime Video that started on July 3, just in time for the long Independence Day weekend in the United States. Amaze!
