My wife, two teen daughters and I saw Martian this weekend. It was one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time and I’m a movie freak. Perfect casting and even better script. Matt Damon had a tough job carrying the film in his scenes, but his use of the station video-based report filing enables us to get more entertaining dialogue from him (as opposed to the slightly more I’m-going-crazy-talking-to-myself lines from Tom Hanks in Castaway talking to “Wilber”).
Throughout the movie Damon is friggin’ great (but those of us who like in the Bourne movies know his ability to nail a role without coming across as a cartoon character already knew this). The science seemed just plausible enough for non-scientists. Not enough credit in the reviews will be given to the Nasa team cast on earth, but without it, the movie would have dragged and feeling their urgency and suspense builds our own. Just go see it. I cannot imagine any WISP not loving this movie, as it takes one’s inner geek and shows us how to turn it into total badassery.
