Martian, to Space Pirate, to Iron Man.

Rating: 7/10 (9 April 2017)

Some awesome one liners, steady pace, satisfactory direction, good scoring and a wonderful cast, The Martian is an entertaining space odyssey that does a fine job at making it's viewer feel the isolation Mark is going through, which is an important part of the story - however, I do feel that it could've still been done better.
All that Mark accomplished, though at many points seemed amazing, at other parts it seemed a little too easy, especially his journey to the MAV, but again, overall, his struggle, panic and isolation was well captured for the most part.
Some characters were a little too under used, and other characters perhaps felt kind of useless or rather, not too necessary, but on the flip side, it felt like an accurate depiction of how it actually is, and realism in this type of film, is always a good thing, because the intent is to be more than just entertainment if possible... If possible, the intent is, possibility.
The Martian is more than a 7, but less than an 8, so a 7.5/10 it'll be from me, for the fastest space pirate in the history of space travel... in a convertible.
