Review of The Martian (2015) by Joseph C — 13 May 2016
A Must-See Masterpiece!
From legendary director Ridley Scott (Alien, Prometheus) comes a gripping tale of human strength and the will to survive. During a mission to Mars, American astronaut Mark Watney (Matt Damon) is presumed dead when he is impaled by a piece of equipment and left behind following an emergency evacuation. But Watney is still alive. Against all odds, Watney must find a way to contact Earth in the hope NASA can devise a rescue plan. The film's ensemble cast also features Jessica Chastain, Kristen Wiig, Jeff Daniels, Michael PeÃÃ,±a, Kate Mara, Sean Bean, Sebastian Stan, Aksel Hennie, and Chiwetel Ejiofor.
This film is absolutely riveting and amazing! Damon deserves the Academy Award for Best Actor. With a performance that is equal parts optimistic, ingenious, intuitive, and deeply infused with a dark sense of humor, Damon has never been better. I highly recommend this outstanding film! It is a must-see masterpiece!
