Good but not great

Rating: Null/10 (21 March 2016)

I got what I expected out of this film. It was good. A tight story, good cinematography, good acting, but not a great movie. Talk about suspending dis-belief! The same people who could not get their heads around characters like Captain Ng in Aloha being of mixed race because she looked white seem to be totally on board with the premise that not only will we get to Mars as a matter of regular space travel, but that Matt Damon gets there, survives on the products of a garden he creates in the most hostile of environments and then gets rescued by being retrieved from deep space in a one in a million shot space snag.
And what is it with people these days who think we can get to Mars when we haven't gotten back to our own Moon since 1972?
Film was good, but sci-fi preposterous.
