Movie: The Martian (Ridley Scott; Matt Damon)

[epilogue]

How come an American wrote a book, and Hollywood made it into a movie ... and all the other, lame countries get to see it before us?

That's what you get for constantly slashing NASA's budget.

A Russian is suing fox saying he wrote this story back in the 2000s and passed it around the studios a year before Weir wrote the book.

[BurtReynolds]

The critics are loving this. The trailer makes it look kinda boring, but I might give it a try.

Like I was saying it slows up now and then but you're reminded of how long it takes to stage any kind of mission on this scale and they do a nifty job of not letting you get bored. Go see it. It's far better than Gravity and too different to Interstellar to make a comparison.

[The Argonaut]

I loved this one. I thought it was great that there were no badguys. People made different decisions, and had slightly different priorities, but no one was cruel or selfish. It's kind of the dream of what space exploration could be. This unifying endeavor that destroys all boundaries, political and imagined. Great movie, I was really into it the whole time.

Wow.

we saw this saturday...it was pretty good..could have had different actors other than Wigg and Chastain though

[Rangi Guy]

I found the casting of Wigg distracting at first, but it didn't bother me

Fucking Christ, how many times that asshole seen space? Jesus.

The best part was asking Sean Bean how he knew what Elrond was

That took me out of it. Donald Glover doing a bad Abed impression was difficult, also.

When they name the plan the Elrond project, did anyone else want Sean Bean to go 'one does not simply turn a ship around to go back to Mars' ?

[ABNorman]

Unsurprisingly, I enjoyed this, but boy howdy, Sean Bean was ridiculously wooden.

that wouldve been a bit too on the nose, methinks

yeah, usually he doesn't stiffen up until he's dead
