It's not a comedy, but Watney (Matt Damon) faces his problems in a great way

Rating: 7/10 (17 July 2016)

While watching The Martian I realised I expected something like Moon (2009) where Matt Damon as some sort of Sam Bell has to sit through his time on Mars, waiting to be relieved. Although Moon is a good movie, it's atmosphere is desolate and sad. Therefore, if you want to compare The Martian to another movie, it's more some sort of SciFi version of Cast Away, where the situation makes the main character creative and resourcefull, and at the same time the loneliness drives him to some sort of funny insanity.
Some SciFi elements were not completely believable and the dialogs from the other cast was not funny at all (altough I think they hoped it would be funny) but overall still something you need to see.
7/10
