Who wants to see Matt's but on Mars?

Rating: 8/10 (13 November 2015)

The little martian girls from Mars and all the earthly over 30's moms.
This was like a fun fact that I wanted to be warned first. Matt Damon does appear for about 2 seconds nude. If you want more go watch Liberace (just for these scenes)
Promising movie, where Matt Damon plays Mark Watney- a stranded botanist left accidentally on Mars, by his commander Jesica Chastain. Mark Watney (Matt Damon's character) will have to survive for about 4 years on Mars with supplies for a year or two or 448 daysthe movie is not quite sure on this.
Andy Weir's book The Martian was/is a bestseller with millions of copies sold through out the world and over 22.000 reviews on Amazon. Well, his other book, which is an audio-book, The Egg has only 11 reviews on Amazon. Fair, it's 8 minute long, but the gap between 22k and 11 reviews is mesmerizing.
As Mark Watney becomes the first man who did many first on Mars, NASA has one or two of her firsts also. NASA team decisions, involving the Chinese as the help, and turning a interstellar ship around to get one men back, costing billions probably when in fact, people are dying of starvation in other countries. The movie did had one or more consultants from NASA and the author Andy Weir and Ridley's Scott experience.
Only Matt Damon (kudos for the acting, every time he is spot on) and Jeff Daniels (Dumb & Dumber) are above the whole cast.
Directing is good, especially on the scenes on Mars and the POV scenes. The soundtrack is more than nice and unexpected. The power 80's tunes are well heard. Was it because in the 80's there where most scripts and talks about Mission to Mars?
Somehow the movie feels ordered, emotionless and Mars, although a different environment, is made kind of friendly looking to the audience. Mark that and top with the real life Mission to Mars on 2020 or something like that, with the eagerness NASA is showing us that we can colonize (more money for them for the missions, great movie=more social engagement, trust etc) and one might think somebody is trying a little to hard to get us to think about moving on Mars in the next decades
The movie is enjoyable but the 8,2 on IMDb is overrated. I saw it in 3D. Nice scenery and some nice wind guststotally worth it, not.
Well, cutting to the chase, the film does have fun facts lots of them:
When O2 is running low you usually faint, unless you're Matt Damon. Then you wake up, obviously. The duct tape thing on Mars. It can hold anything in America, then it can hold any thing on Mars; broken window, seal martian module etc) Mars looks really friendly, except for water and O2, but Matt can handle Hydrogen on fire. He is playing a botanist after all. Punching a suit in space and controlling a singular vectored force in a friction-less environment is impossible, unless you're Matt Damon or Sandra Bullock (Gravity – handling extinguishers in space) Special Quote:
Mark Watney: If I want water, I'll have to make it from scratch. Fortunately, I know the recipe: Take hydrogen. Add oxygen. Burn.
