A laughable, unbelievable story. Yet another overhyped blockbuster......

Rating: 3/10 (9 January 2019)

It was with great anticipation that I sat down to watch The Martian, a film that had not only been called "a modern Classic" but a film that had also registered a high 8.0 rating on IMDB. My enthusiasm lasted around 15 minutes. The rest of the film was completely unbelievable, with a storyline so dull the director thought he had to intersperse 70's music to keep it alive. Matt Damon played a man who was alone on a planet millions of miles from Earth yet his character had the depth of a sparrow. I have no idea what some other notable actors were doing in this film and it looked like they didn't know either! A dreadful waste of time as was; Interstellar, Arrival and Gravity. Much better modern alternatives are Midnight Special, A Quiet Place and Minority Report.
