Review of Martian (2015) by Calib M — 26 Feb 2016
Legendary filmmaker Ridley Scott (Alien, Blade Runner, Gladiator, Thelma & Louise!)is back in action with 2015's sci fi masterwork ''The Martian'' Ridley Scott shows us why he is still relevant and still a great filmmaker in hollywood, because he blew everything away with one of this years best movies.
Going in I was afraid this movie was somehow going to be bad since Ridley Scott hasn't done a deal of great things since Gladiator, so me expectations were low, and on top of that I was prepared to witness an incredibly depressing and dower but great survival story (like The Revenant), but man was I wrong, I had some of the most fun watching this movie, I laughed so surprisingly hard at many points throughout the film, man what a special treat.
When a movie like this can achieve both incredible, emotionally driven story and acting (Matt Damon was phenomenal by the way, also one of the best in years for him) and be hilarious, uplifting and witty at many points throughout the film, a movie like this gets my vote as (one of the) Best Picture ('s) of the year.
