And I thought Prometheus was bad....

Rating: 1/10 (13 October 2015)

Another day I read that the average IQ of the human population is falling....
A rating of 8 for "The Martian" is proof of that.
The Martian is a real bore fest, an uninspired politically correct film filled with the habitual clichés about scientists, race and everything else.
I can even ignore the stupid things they showed in the movie (e.g, why remove the roof of a perfectly airtight, functioning Mars rover?) after all not everyone has a PhD in physics or engineering... but the characters are bland, the cursing is annoying, the acting is coma inducing...
There is no tension, no sense of urgency...the whole thing can be summarized as an experiment in the cultivation of potatoes on Mars.
And to make things worse, the ending is almost an exact copy of what they did in "Red Planet" (2000), with Val Kilmer...
It is a mediocre film made by a director who is showing his age...
