The ultimate astronaut film, and the best film set on mars

Rating: 9/10 (26 April 2016)

The martian kind of feels like the third chapter in a trilogy together with Gravity and Interstellar. While the three movies are quite different, they all feel very close to each other. I absolutely enjoyed both the others, and this was no exception. With no action, and much science, it was enoyable despite its 2h20m lenght, which to some people is already a huge lenght. Wonderful visual depictions of Mars made it excel. Compared to "Mission to Mars" and "The Red Planet", the other two Mars films, it is just waaaaay more enjoyable (Even though I'll admit that I enjoyeb myself Mission to Mars). The cast choice seemed perfect, and next to it the great direction of Ridley Scott worked out. As "The Martian" is also based on a novel, a compare to the novel is needed. They managed to show almost everything that happened in the novel, with the difference that in the novel Mark Watney would explain every single thing he did scientifically. Another thing that worked well was the music. It fitted in well. For the scientific aspect of the film, yes. They got everything right. That's been told unanimously by any phisician asked upon the film. Stop reading reviews, and go to watch The Martian to spend great 2hrs20mins
