Review of The Martian (2015) by Andrew M — 05 Mar 2016
A lightweight film that treats the threat of total isolation and likely death on a remote planet with nothing more than casual concern (imagine cast away with Wilson replaced by wifi internet and disco music).
The plot line is predictable and despite "sciencing the shit out of this" - apparently one of the movie's great lines, there are numerous science faux pars throughout the movie which will surely make this movie too hard to watch for most sci-fi buffs.
Without the bad language, it would make a great kids film. For adults, if you have a spare two and a half hours and nothing better to do then, by all means, watch it. I certainly won't be watching it again.
