Based on Andy Weir's novel of the same name, Project Hail Mary is the story of a science teacher who gets sent on a last-ditch mission to space to save everyone back on earth. IGN's review of the movie called it a "thrilling, heartfelt, and hilarious" rollicking sci-fi blockbuster, and after seeing Ryan Gosling's performance myself, I absolutely agree.

As for why there's no release date yet, that's most likely tied to the film's success at the box office (which included an extended theatrical release) and rather unusual streaming release. Unless you want to buy it digitally, the only place you can stream the movie is via an MGM+ subscription.

Special Features Included

According to the product page, the 4K version of the movie will offer a few extras in addition to the movie. Here's all of the bonus features included:

• Commentary by Directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller
• Deleted Scenes
• Earth's Favorite Eridian
