Review of The Martian (2015) by Subseq — 05 Dec 2015
Just now, finally saw this film. Everyone said it was great. Ahem. When will Hollywood overcome its obsession with rehashing the same old predictable dreck convinced all it has to do is smother it all with the newest fanciest CGI? This was Gravity-slash-Apollo 13-slash-Cast Away.
Nothing more. It gets as high as a "2" score because Ridley Scott's brisk direction made it interesting at times, but then, in that sense it was also a little bit of Alien. I mean, what the mmph were they all doing out there at the beginning of the film getting the Matt Damon character almost killed? That was just too stupid right outta the gate -- I mean, the storm is so ferocious that they have to abort everything and lift off, yet there they are outside the ship traipsing about doing something God-knows-what.
Derrr. Sorry, but this stuff just drives me crazy.
