Lego Project Hail Mary review: Amaze, amaze, amaze!

The Lego Project Hail Mary set, based on the film adaptation of Andy Weir's novel, is a 830-piece model that measures 12 x 9.5 x 8.5 inches and is recommended for ages 18 and up. The set costs $99.99/£99.99 and offers a unique spinning mechanism that simulates the centrifugal gravity system of the spaceship. The construction process takes about two nights and features a diorama of Ryland and Rocky minifigures, as well as a detailed display stand with a spinning mechanism that retracts and extends the crew module.

While the ship itself is relatively small, the overall design is impressive and captures the distinctive silhouette of the Hail Mary. The minifigures are well-crafted, with Ryan Gosling's character having a custom red NASA flight suit. Despite being a fun and interactive model, the prominent stand and gimmicky spinning feature may limit its appeal for some collectors.

Overall, the Lego Project Hail Mary is a great addition for fans of the movie, offering both a visually stunning ship and an engaging way to experience the centrifugal gravity system in action.
