I agree with all 1 to 3 ratings of this movie - terrible

Rating: 3/10 (13 March 2016)

I'm a big Ridley Scott fan and was terribly disappointed. Heard so much hype. As other reviewers have written, everything is too convenient. Damon's character finds a "solution" for everything, or NASA finds one.Out food? Grow potatoes. Need interstellar communication? Find Pathfinder. Door blown off pod? Tarp it. It should hold up fine, even though the first spacecraft almost tipped over in a major storm. Tarp should be great.
Damon is just a series of smug, cutesy lines - amazing how he kept such a light-hearted attitude left to die on Mars. If that wasn't bad enough, add disco music. And so many situations seemed ridiculously unbelievable. That's just the tip of the iceberg. For more insight to this lackluster, high-gloss, no soul movie, read the 1 to 5 star reviews. The Martian is a loser.
