The Martian

Damon delivers. But it's not because he calls himself a space pirate and generally takes his predicament by its lighter sides, that "The Martian" should have been voted in the "comedy" category. I would even venture that this approach actually took away large chunks of the suspense one would have expected from the plot. A lot of thought, it seems, went into making sure the drama was not too dramatic, and as a result not even once did I find myself sitting at the edge of my seat. It's a feel-good adventure, with most of the efforts apparently spent in making sure the science - and the choice of technical words - was right.

So what else can I say about this movie that other people already haven't said. I'm sorry but this was one of the best movies to come out in a long time that was actually factual and realistic in the science behind the scenes. If you want a good read, definitely pick up the novel. And for people complaining about the cast, the cast was perfectly picked for the movie. Damon does a remarkable job in it and the supporting cast definitely nailed it. One of my favorite movies with Oblivion and Moon.

This is one of the best movies of the 21st century in my opinion. I am quite addicted to the movie and I watched it about 20-30 times at least. I bought it without realizing how good it was and now I don't have a digital copy of it that makes me sad. But that only means they're going to have to buy it on Blu-ray and get a digital copy to go with it LOL.
