Project Hi Marystarring Ryan Gosling and based on the best-selling sci-fi book of the same name by Andy Weir, is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video in Australia.
It’s shaping up to be one of the best movies of 2026 so far, with TechRadar’s senior entertainment reporter, Tom Power, giving the film a glowing 4.5 stars. And he’s not alone – Project Hail Mary currently holds a 94% Rotten Tomatoes score, with audiences rating it higher at 95%. It is also already the second most watched show on the platform today.
So I’m delighted to hear that it’s arriving on Amazon’s streaming platform at the perfect time, with the retailer’s biggest sales event, Prime Day, kicking off next week.
To stream Project Hi Mary on Prime Video, you need a Prime membership – which also gives you access to all the exciting deals during next week’s sale – and if you haven’t had an account before, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial.
after seeing Project Hi Mary myself, I completely agree with the praise that my colleague Tom and the Rotten Tomatoes scores – Project Hi Mary has become my favorite feel-good film of the year, and to quote my colleague Tom’s review, it is nothing less than “amaze, amaze, amaze” with how much it moved me. If you haven’t seen this movie yet, I can confidently say that you are in for an absolute treat. And if you’ve seen it before, I’m sure you’ll want to see it again.
The film follows Gosling as a high school teacher who wakes up aboard a spaceship light years from Earth with no memory of who he was or how he got there. He later finds out that he has been tasked with saving humanity by finding out more about a mysterious substance that is causing our sun to slowly die. He is joined by an adorable alien named Rocky in this adventure that will put you on the edge of your seat as you tug at your heartstrings and tickle your funny bone in the process.
When you are done watching Project Hi Marythere are also many more options to choose from. New additions like ElleLegally Blonde prequel, Clarkson’s farm season 5 and season 2 of the Aussie sitcom Deadlock are some good ones to check out. Some older movies I can recommend on Prime Video are the classic comedies Super bath, Hot Fuzz and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.
