So much average
Please don't spend money on this.
It is a performances centric movie
Better Late Then Never
This movie is just optimistic and fun, and it's a throwback to old fashioned movies that didn't feel like they needed to be violent or dark to have high stakes. It's always satisfying to see smart people working together to solve problems and succeeding. Great film.
To be honest, I am not sure where some of the negative reviews came from...but I have to wonder what kinds of movies they consider good...The Martian was simply put together very well, having a realistic plot, and a totally believable story...the scientific accuracy is the best I've ever seen in a scifi movie, and you can relate to what Mark Watney has to go through to survive. There might be a couple scientific inaccuracies, but you'd have to look very closely to pick them out...Yes, ok. The space ship was rather over the top design wise, and the actual rescue stretches credibility a bit...but overrall it is an excellent movie to watch...
The title says everything i need to say. Apart from the fact that it is far more fun to watch Tom Hanks doing nothing, than Matt Damon. I'd assume anyone rating this over a 7/10 is a Matt Damon fanboy.
I watched this film and enjoyed it because it's not considered non-fiction; it's a fictional account of what might happen if an astronaut were abandoned on Mars. Too many people who are submitting reviews are trying to get too technical. People, just enjoy the movie for what it is.
