Review of The Martian (2015) by Bradysmith — 08 Oct 2015
The Martian is just such a fun movie. It's a light toned, clever, visually impressive, well acted movie. It's always engaging and you'll never be bored with the outside the box ways Matt Damon adapts to his situation.
It's perfectly paced, has a great cast, and is unusually fun for Scott. It really didn't even feel like a Ridley Scott movie, because in terms of mood and tone it's the antithesis of the darkness from Alien, Blade Runner, Gladiator.
.. to almost any Scott movie. I don't think it's as good as Alien. I don't think it's as good as the rapturous, and profound Interstellar, but it is one of the best and most enjoyable movies of the year and will go down as another Ridley Scott sci-fi classic.
