I thought it was an awesome movie! Matt was very genuine in the movie and as much as the movie is about his character you don't tend to get bored as you are routing for him to survive. Got lost in the technical jargon somewhat but I'm pretty positive I wouldn't survive on Mars without ketchup!
I LOVE DISCO MUSIC IN THE MARTIAN
Matt Damon really brings this movie to life. I enjoyed it.
Smacks too much science fiction. Hard to follow. Very poor
Brilliant movie! A must see for those of us who remain human! If you don't laugh hard and cry a lot, please get a pulse check!
Best sci-fi musical comedy ever!
It's rare to find a science-fiction comedy that can make you tap your feet; The Martian is just such a rarity.
Loved it!!!
Look, now if you want to skew the general viewpoint about this movie, that is OK, you have the right to do so. In my point of view, this is an excellent movie, with plenty of correct references. I am not going to stop here: visuals are mainly great, acting crew is solid, although all these many familiar names are a bit of overkill for me, storyline is really top notch (nobody can trump a story about the victory of humankind over an obstacle), although some elements like the Chinese people cheering about an American NASA astronaut are a bit excessive. Science-wise, we are looking great, making great math from everything - food, water, calculating this, calculating that... although I don't know if I would have come up with all of the details of various science fields that the main character applied and displayed.
too long
