The Science is right, The Human is not

Rating: 8/10 (19 August 2018)

As a Ridley Scott film, it looks beautiful as expected. My favorite part of this film is how well researched it is on the science side. A lot of the science talk isn't nonsense which is always something I look for in good science based films.
But, there is a fatal flaw that is overlooked by many. The main character, isn't very human.
Living in isolation I feel should have been one of the biggest issues in this movie. He never seems to be hugely effected by it in any way you'd expect. Even if they did this to draw more attention to the story, that can be considered wrong. Characters are the main part of a story, without them you get a movie that I honestly liked but lacks that completeness that truly incredible movies have.
Would I recommend this movie? Yes. Despite what I just said, A lot of people seem to genuinely enjoy this movie. It still is engaging and interesting. Despite the lack of character, I still found myself invested in him and wanting him to get home in one piece. It might not be a masterpiece, but it's definitely worth a watch.
