A good concept that failed to reach the hall of fame

Rating: 7/10 (28 November 2015)

If you have watched "Gravity" and "Interstellar" then you may not find "The Martian" so interesting to watch. But if you are new to science fiction movies, The Martian s worth a watch. Very well made. But somewhere fails to engage. The ending is too predictable. Matt Damon was very good but somehow his character lacked intensity. The overall experience was okay, not too exciting. Visuals were no doubt awesome. The vast desolate Martian landscape leaves a mark. But somehow this movie reminds of many other science fiction movies. The vast expanses are so much a reminder of "Oblivion". A good movie to watch one time. Most probably it will not find it's place in the science fiction hall of fame.
