A Thrilling Journey Into Deep Space

Rating: 9/10 (3 October 2015)

The Martian is a thrilling journey into the deep space anchored by amazing visuals and great acting. In the recent past Ridley Scott had been struggling to make a great movie, but he went back to his basics, and churned out one of the better Sci-Fi movies not just of this year, but of the past few years. While all actors are good, this movie is the Matt Damon show, and he shines as a desperate man stranded millions of miles from home. The film will undeniably be compared to Interstellar, because the cast and some of the premise are similar, but these are two very different movies. The amazing special effects, and constant obstacles make this movie truly thrilling. The Martian is my favorite of the Space Sci-Fi movies in the recent years, more than Gravity or Interstellar. The Martian is truly a theater experience, so see it on the biggest screen you can.
