A true Ridley Scott masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (16 October 2015)

I thoroughly enjoyed this film from start to finish. Despite it being almost 2.5 hours I never once stopped paying attention. The story was kept up throughout very well. Matt Damon among the other actors delivers a remarkable performance, and it was definitely one of my favourites with him in it (The Departed being number one). I would like to add one thing about how they wrapped it up at the end. I've always been a fan of the epic endings that tie the movie back together and reference something earlier in the movie then cuts to black (like Wolf of Wall Street, the "sell me this pen" which was referenced earlier and is the last line of the movie). In my opinion they should have had him teaching before they had him on the bench, and when he looks down and sees the plant growing and says "hey there" like he did earlier, that's where I thought they could have cut to black. Other than that no complaints and that definitely was not the last time I'll see it.
