Review of The Martian (2015) by Carlosgz — 04 Oct 2015
This is what a sci-fi action movie should be. By all means, a return to form from Ridley Scott, who maybe left us a little bit unsatisfied with last year's Exodus. Back to the film, it offers competition for Mad Max, and that is saying A LOT.
It manages to be witty, dramatic, charming, somber. There are seamless transitions between those moments in the film. A formidable cast and crew prove plot is in no way a limit for their skills. And Go Matt Damon! He, as expected, delivers a star performance as a (supremely intelligent) man trying to survive the dreadful odds.
Every part of this movie is increasingly satisfying (though a cameo by Sigourney Weaver would've been incredible). Think of it as Moon meets Interstellar meets Gravity, just through Ridley Scott's splendid eye for dramatic action with a touch of funny.
