super overrated crap

Rating: 6/10 (28 May 2016)

I just wanted to watch a sci-fi with some good action, and -who knows?- maybe something new to learn there. And I got nothing at all.
In The Martian almost half of the movie is about CNN correspondents, people in Times Square cheering and partying for Mark, and meaningless NASA dialogues with Chinese Space Agency.
I almost had the feeling that the most serious problem of the lost astronaut was that he couldn't update his facebook profile. And all those calculations about the days left to save him... Like anyone watching the film gives a damn about the days left before his food ends. It becomes so predictable that one way or another he will try to escape instead of waiting and starving.
I cant believe the director of Aliens and Promitheus is the same with the one who did the martian. Total failure!
