Robbed of awards

Rating: 8/10 (4 March 2016)

For me the combination of Riddley Scott and Matt Damon sounds like the recipe for the best movie ever. But there are several 'However's. Some of the concepts are a little far fetched and let's be brutally honest: I was expecting Matt to find a basketball and paint a face on it. Those negatives aside, it was robbed of awards by that straight to DVD abomination of Crap Max. The Martian keeps one gripped with the isolation and desperation of trying to cling on to life. Predictibale. Done before. But why change something if it isn't broken. I'd give it 10 if they had just made it a bit less fluffy and more dark. Plus why can I never seem to be able to write a review that is 10 lines long?
