Title should be: "Another triumphal success of the NASA".
Big names like Ridley Scott doesn't automatically mean great movies. Once proved again.
The movie with the premise of the successful rescue of a stranded man on the mars in fact does not give much space for an elaborate story. But in the movie even that limitation seems to be undercut. Soft-footed straight forward to the rescue, which is never in doubt, on the waves of the 70's disco sound. Does not really make the big thrill. As criticized in other reviews, no slightest signs of loneliness, despair etc., the movie goes on in a completely positive attitude. Le cliché US par excellence.
CGI and settings are nicely done, Damon's acting job is OK. Surely watchable, but nothing to be remembered. 8.2 rating ATM seems still quite overrated for me. However, better than "Gravity", I still have not recovered from the fact how may Oscars that dull movie has won.
