Project Hail Mary is still a month away from hitting our screens, but the first verdict on the movie is in – from none other than Frozen's Josh Gad.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the first masterpiece of 2026," Gad wrote on Instagram. "I don’t know how the hell they did it, but [Phil Lord, co-director], [Chris Miller, co-director], [Drew Goddard, screenwriter], [Aditya Sood, producer], along with Amy Pascal and Rachel O’Conner have delivered a PERFECT adaptation of a book I thought was impossible to adapt. The novel by [Andy Weir] is one of my all-time favorites and the movie somehow matches it pound for pound.
