Review of Martian (2015) by George H — 06 May 2016

"The Martian" is both a thrilling and hilarious Sci-Fi movie of 2015. The plot to "The Martian" is that a group of scientists are sent to "Mars" to study it. While they are there a strong storm hits and "Mark Watney" portrayed by "Matt Damon" is in the middle of the storm.

The crew leaves "Mars" thinking that "Watney" died in the storm but later they are all shocked to find out that he survived the storm. So "N.A.S.A." must do everything they can to bring "Watney" back to "Earth".

The opening to the movie shows the crew on "Mars" doing their work. The scene is good but doesn't feel like an opening scene. For most of the movie it shows "Watney" trying to survive on "Mars".

As well as this the movie also shows what "N.A.S.A." is doing on "Earth". The scenes with "Watney" adapting to his new habitat are very entertaining but the scenes of N.A.

S.A. can sometimes be boring. The movie's climax is a very thrilling and suspenseful scene. The plot to the movie is superb; except for the N.A.S.A. scenes those are boring. "Matt Damon" gives the movie a stunning performance as "Mark Watney"; he truly knows how to act.

"Harry Gregson-Williams" composed a happy soundtrack for "The Martian", at times the music fits in with the scenes and other times it feels weird. Director "Ridley Scott" shoots scenes well to express the emotion of each character.

If you are a person who enjoys Science Fiction movies then I highly recommend you watch "The Martian" as it has amazing acting, a great plot and is a well-shot movie. Although the movie does have some issues these being some better music, some less boring scenes and a better opening scene.

I give 2014's "The Martian" an 8.5/10.
