Review of The Martian (2015) by Dmitri M — 30 Mar 2016
Top Movies of 2015 - #1.
In a year packed with great movies, and perhaps one of the better years since 2012, the Martian is a movie that stands out among the pack. The plot, about being stranded on Mars, alone can carry this movie. But its doesn't stop there, throw in a memorable and energetic performance by Matt Damon, and an equally great job by the co-stars, you have a movie that propels itself into space. The light tone of the movie, helps to ease the tension, but also make it an absolute joy to watch. In fact, it allows the movie to hold up to repeated viewings and even improve on said viewings. Unlike Interstellar, The Martian seems wholly plausible, which makes it an even more interesting watch. there's also the soundtrack, which should be noted as being a total joy to listen to. Perhaps that is what the Martian embodies, joy and happiness. You won't assume a movie about a guy being stranded on Mars would make you laugh so much, or encourage you to watch it with a group of buddies, but it does exactly that. Hell, you could watch this alone if you want to entertain yourself for a solid 2 hours, or if you even want to learn something. Its such a versatile movie that will definitely hold up to the test of time and as such it earns the top spot for 2015.
