Doubting the science?,watch NASA fact check about The Martian on you tube.

Rating: 9/10 (9 December 2015)

Read some reviews here on IMDb and it seems everyone is a scientist these days. Had my doubts it was that inaccurate so I looked it up on you tube and they claimed most of it was truthful. Surprisingly the one thing no one mentions are the sandstorms which can not happen cos the atmosphere on Mars don't create does so that was somewhat of a letdown.
With that out of the way,I actually liked this film and it kept me emotionally involved the whole way thru. The movie depends a lot on Matt Damon"s acting and he did an excellent job with this one. Supporting cast also worked very well and although there is no real build up between them and Matt Damon,I sort of figured this happened on the long trip they made going to Mars.
I get the feeling a lot of people who watch this in the theaters missed some of the explanations given in this movie and sometimes you gotta read between the lines because for most part it's all there.
I think a lot of people will like it better a second time around but if your attitude is like "I'm done with it" than that's fine by me to.
I got a real positive vibe kick out of it so the movie worked for me and that's all that matters in the end.
I do think this deserves a s**t load of Oscars because I really feel this should come close to the one that holds the record now. (I'm not really in to the Oscars so I don't know what movie holds the record now and by how many Oscars?)
I liked it a lot(although it is a lot of American pie)and was somewhat surprised by all the negative reviews this got but every opinion counts and it is what it is and so be it.
I highly recommend it, but realize it's not everyone's cup of tea.
I enjoyed it,I hope you do to.
One of the better 2015 movies (Maybe the best but haven't seen The Force Awakens yet and been a Star wars fan all my life)
So...time will tell.
