Surprassed expectations

Rating: 10/10 (17 October 2015)

It was a last minute decision to watch this movie with my friends. And to say the least, I was not thrilled about watching a sci-fi movie, a genre I don't usually enjoy. I did not have any expectations for this movie whatsoever, but boy was I wrong about everything I thought this movie would be like. The Martian makes you feel everything: it keeps you on the edge of your seat, it constantly awes you with the intellectual aspects of the movie, it gives you a good laugh time to time, and it impresses you with the amazing graphics. I watched this at 11pm, and I didn't get tired even once although that's the time I usually sleep at. After watching the movie, all I could think was, "Wow, did I really just watch that?" Seriously, I could not get over how amazing it was. I did not expect this movie to have a lasting effect on me. The Martian is one of those movies that you will always remember and wouldn't mind watching over and over again (at least for me)! Thank God I agreed to watch this with my friends - hands down one of the most excellent movies I've ever watched.
