Martian

Rating: 7/10 (4 October 2015)

If you like the space adventure genre then this is the movie for you. With Rigley Scott's masterful direction and Matt Daemon's expectedly solid performance, I was temporarily transported to a different world. Less so than Interstellar but still so. Some of the science was incomprehensible to me but that didn't interfered with the experience. Now for the annoying parts - some jokes, reactions and dialogs are clichÃ©s. I expect more from Mr. Scott. The most annoying part was the - don't read this if you don't want to learn about any twists or turns - the Chinese intervention. It was too contrived and seemed more like a paid advertisement in the middle of an intelligent movie than a natural flow of the story line.
