Review of Martian (2015) by Caz H — 27 May 2016
I thought this film was incredible. Matt Damon gave a spectacular performance: I found it odd at first how instantly optimistic his character was but he pulled it off and it made more and more sense as it kept on going.
He had so much energy and wit and it was interesting to see a botanist on Mars as opposed to any kind of fighter or more traditional scientist. The politics shown back on earth were a good contrast seeing both the frustratingly callous side but the life-affirming determination to do anything to bring him home won over and didn't seem too unrealistic.
It was an emotional film that trod the boundaries of corny but I think it stuck the perfect balance for an entertaining, enjoyable and very well put together film.
