Review of The Martian (2015) by Brent_Marchant — 03 Oct 2015
A slightly overlong and somewhat predictable but nevertheless entertaining science fiction story with good special effects and a surprisingly effective amount of humor. Some of the plot devices, story line elements and science aspects don't work quite as well as they should, but these drawbacks are compensated for by its aforementioned strengths, as well as a capable performance by Matt Damon.
Though not without faults, the film is still a cut above most of the sci-fi offerings released this year and the generally overrated space-based pictures of recent years.
