Review of Martian (2015) by Stephanie Zacharek for Village Voice — 29 Sep 2015
The Martian is only partly a story about a man in peril; it's mostly a story about men (and a few women) taking control of the uncontrollable. It's confident, swaggering sci-fi, not the despairing kind.
That may be why, as elaborate and expensive-looking as The Martian is, it's almost totally lacking in poetry.
