Enjoyable and Creative

Rating: 9/10 (17 July 2017)

This film is quite enjoyable as there are many creative solutions presented by the main character Mark Watney (Matt Damon). The cinematography is fairly good and capture many aspects of space. There are some parts of the film that are not scientifically correct, but they are not glaring and do not take away from the film that much. The movies action pace is perfectly done as it changes speeds quite well. Shares a fair amount in common with Apollo 13, even though one is history and the other is fiction. The movie also did a good job of presenting the politics of NASA by showing the discussions had by the NASA director.
