Review of The Martian (2015) by Capta1Ncar1Sma — 09 Oct 2015

I know a good deal of folks are ranting and raving about this film, but I for one am just not a fan of this movie. To be honest I am not a fan of Matt Damon to say the least and I actually feel he is a bit of a hack, but I am a huge fan of Ridley Scott, so much so that I even ardently defend his more negatively reviewed projects. All that being said, I simply can not say anything positive about The Martian. It was two and a half hours of pure boredom. Matt Damon is so unlikable that I literally was rooting against him the entire time.

Every five minutes the film stops to give some long, drawn out science explanation of what's going on and its absolutely yawn provoking. Two and a half hours of this movie formula is better than drinking a half bottle of Nightquil to help induce slumber. It was simply an unpleasant, boring, drawn out movie going experience to me.

Now maybe I am a little jaded due to my strong dislike for Matt Damon, or maybe it has to do with the guy wearing a Man bun who was constantly kicking the back of my seat, but I have to give this movie a big Thumbs down.
