Great spatial entertaining

Rating: 8/10 (17 June 2016)

I hesitated long time to buy this DVD. The science fiction movies of nowadays are for almost part done without any great intelligence anymore. But here I was for once completely wrong. The Martian is a very entertaining and clever movie with real elements. I couldn't imagine that this story kept my attention and my wife during all the running time of two hours and a half. Every sequence is well studied in each detail and there were many plots and twists. Matt Damon was magic in his astronaut role and Ridley Scott proofed that he can create other successful films. Finally, I think the most important success key was the delivery of this respectable adaption on other material and a perfectly written screenplay. A rare 8/10 for this must see. Watch it and surprise yourself.
