The
Martian 9/10
This
will have some spoilers. “I'm gonna science the shit out of this
planet.” And he does! This is not Gravity. Its is not close to that
film for a lot of reasons and I was happy for it. The Martian stars
Matt Damon as a botanist stranded on Mars after a storm occurs and his
crew is forced to leave him behind thinking he is dead. He's not and
that sucks because he is stuck on Mars with enough food for a whole
crew but not enough to, like, live forever.
The
cast of this also includes Jessica Chastain, Kristen Wiig, Jeff
Daniels, Michael Peña, Kate Mara, Donald Glover, Sean Bean,
Sebastian Stan, Aksel Hennie, and Chiwetel Ejiofor. They are all
really good and even some folks I didn't mention that have smaller
parts. A lot of this movie is spent wanting Mark Watney played by
Damon to survive. I laughed, I cheered, I screamed “Fuck!” when
he did after something went wrong. Watney would spend parts of his
days making video logs and complaining about the only music being
available being disco which made the movie funnier.
This
movie was intense at times but for the most part I couldn't wait to
see what happened next or if he was even going to survive somehow.
This was way different than the trailers made it seem. You could take
a kid to see this and it wouldn't freak them out the way some of the
scenes in Tomorrowland would. If you get the chance you really should
check this movie out. It is one of my favorite films this year.
