I'M SURPRISED

Rating: 8/10 (28 September 2018)

Okay let me get things straight, I had watched Christopher Nolan's Interstellar in the end of 2014 and I was just mind blown. The CGI, the acting, the storyline, the plot. It was all beautiful. Probably the best space film I've seen. How do you top that?
You go in a completely different direction. Instead of exploring planets... Why not get stuck on one?
Yep, that's what The Martian is about and I honestly didn't have too high expectations for this film. But I just had to watch it since Matt Damon was in it and he's probably one of the best actors out there.
When I exited the theater I was honestly. Just baffled. Here I thought I had seen a film you couldn't top, Interstellar. The Martian gave Nolan a run for his money.
The whole movie is centralized around Matt Damon and is basically a solo performance by him. And he didn't disappoint. He engaged and immersed millions of people into a traumatic and emotional outer space experience and I have to say. The video effects are scary real.
I just don't have any words to say about the Martian, just a beautiful film. One of my top favorites.
At the end, I score this film an 8.4/10, the same I scored Interstellar.
