Those types of blockbusters usually require some prior planning. For example, does <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cosmopolitan.com\/entertainment\/movies\/a70803604\/how-to-watch-project-hail-mary\/\" target=\"_self\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.cosmopolitan.com\/entertainment\/movies\/a70803604\/how-to-watch-project-hail-mary\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"Project Hail Mary\" data-node-id=\"0.2\" class=\"body-link css-ohbdae emevuu60\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Project Hail Mary<\/a> have a post-credits scene? The people want answers!<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"1\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">The Ryan Gosling science fiction adventure film from the directors of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is 156 minutes long, well over two and a half hours. I don\u2019t blame you for wanting to know if you have to stay any longer than that. It\u2019s a big commitment!<\/p>\n<p>Should I stay for the Project Hail Mary credits?<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">There is not a scene in the middle or at the end of the Project Hail Mary credits. I repeat: there is no post-credits scene in Project Hail Mary. There isn\u2019t even a blooper reel. If I may offer one note? Maybe we should have gotten a blooper reel.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"5\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">However, if you do stick around, you will get to see the MGM Lion make some cute Eridian noises like Rocky (the lovable alien in the movie), instead of his signature roar, at the very end. That\u2019s kind of cute, right? I believe he\u2019s saying goodbye and thank you. Throughout the credits, you can also take a look at <a rel=\"noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.astronomy.com\/observing\/the-astrophotography-of-project-hail-mary\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.astronomy.com\/observing\/the-astrophotography-of-project-hail-mary\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"real astrophotography courtesy of photographer Rod Prazeres\" data-node-id=\"5.3\" class=\"body-link css-ohbdae emevuu60\">real astrophotography courtesy of photographer Rod Prazeres<\/a>. The filmmakers opted to use his work instead of using CGI or AI-generated images of deep space. So cool!<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"6\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">I will say that the credits were weirdly shorter than I expected, considering that this is a movie with a lot of special effects. (Not Rocky, though! That lil\u2019 guy is a puppet.) So, even though I was hanging out in the theater for research purposes, the time flew.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Between the astrophotography, Rocky\u2019s goodbye, and the length of the credits themselves, I\u2019d say that the people who need to sit in the theater and, like, process their emotions after everything that happened in the movie will be rewarded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Project Hail Mary is already being hailed (boooooo!!) as the type of cinematic experience currently reserved for superhero&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":501199,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[25818,175961,381,96,380,2839,159164,175960,175962,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-501198","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-content-type-news-explainer","9":"tag-contentid-1f44fad4-ac40-485a-ad38-224b159ac81a","10":"tag-displaytype-standard-article","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-locale-us","13":"tag-movies","14":"tag-read_time-2","15":"tag-shorttitle-you-should-watch-the-project-hail-mary-credits","16":"tag-subsection-movies","17":"tag-uk","18":"tag-united-kingdom","19":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/501198","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=501198"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/501198\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/501199"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=501198"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=501198"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=501198"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
