I actually liked it (SPOILERS)

Rating: 8/10 (18 October 2015)

The Martian to me is another Hollywood, overcoming all odds, feel good movie, the science isn't exactly at the top of the list and this can be seen (if you know Mars weather patterns) straight from the off ,fortunately for the viewer the suspension of belief is rewarded with some amazing views of the red planet and some actual real life science and applications that could really work on mars. Matt Damon does a pretty solid Job as Mark Watney and I did actually feel myself routing for the character so in my opinion if you wanna go watch a pretty good sci fi movie with no real antagonists that has top notch shots of space and mars and spaceships with no aliens or weird stuff or mind boggling equations etc then watch this if not go watch Interstellar or Contact either way I prefer this a lot more than both them and I thought they were good .
