Review of The Martian (2015) by Joshua H — 19 May 2017
The Martian isn't so much a bad movie as it is a extremely mediocre, predictable, and a generic crowd-pleasing bore fest that mouth breathing morons tend to go for. It falls under the genre of science-fiction & fantasy, but for some reason Ridley Scott decided to go all-in on just the science part and make a grade school celebration to science and it glorious utility, which is pretty cool if you subscribe to Facebook pages like I FUCKING LOVE SCIENCE (which I don't!) But for all the movie short comings it does have some hip and sassy one-liners such as "I'm going to have to science the shit out of this!" and " IN YOUR FACE NEIL ARMSTRONG!" The movie elaborate, looks expensive, and has an all-star cast: Jason Bourne, Robb Stark, The Winter Solider, Donald Glover, That Swedish guy from that movie (Headhunters.
.. its on Netflix: add it to your queue)...but despite all that I still disapprove of this movie!
