Review of The Martian (2015) by Gene B — 07 Jun 2016
Pretty tedious exercise. Things go right, things go wrong, people get sad, people erupt into cheers (a lot). You kind of long for some Martian monstrosity to suddenly pop up, a la Cloverfield Lane, just to sidetrack its inevitable, droning march to the requisite denouement.
No real depiction of human behavior, everyone pretty much on an even, predicable emotional keel.
Lamest use of pop music ever. 6 monkeys inserting songs on six editing machines would have come up with something more interesting within a week.
And didn't I see Gravity already?
