A nice balance of science, drama and humor

Rating: 8/10 (26 December 2018)

I liked The Martian. This film has a nice balance of science, drama and humor. Matt Damon is able to hold his own on his own and the rest of the cast rounds out the story nicely. It drags at times, there are some pretty big plot conveniences and the visual effects sometimes look a little cartoon-y, but overall this was a very compelling film to watch.
