Review of The Martian (2015) by Jagxjr15 — 07 Oct 2015
This is typical Hollywood boilerplate. The characters are mostly stereotypes, not real people. And the bloated thing is overlong to boot. This is 'science' for people who have never done science or engineering; it just doesn't feel real.
I was bored: everything is so predictable, and the soundtrack regularly beats you over the head with what you are supposed to feel and how you are supposed to react. Cheering crowds inside and outside of NASA and cutesy repartee between the 'brilliant' astronauts is so predictable in any 'space' movie by now.
..do we really need another? This kind of artificial 'interaction' is not the way real people talk to each other, no matter how 'important' their work is or how 'smart' they are. And the politically correct 'diversity' lesson has been done to death already too.
This is for the kids only; adults will find little to take away from this overlong cliché-ridden dope opera.
