That was an excellent one.

Sadly Over-hyped

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

But then again, everything is better than field punishment no 1. I loved the martian.

This is a unique story. And although it is fiction, it is believable, set in the near future. The casting for this movie is exceptional. Exceptional. The supporting actors show a lot of flexibility. Definitely worth the second watch.

As I recall this is the first time I've ever paused a Ridley Scott movie and gone back to it the next day. But on this occasion I did. It's missing that pin that keeps me stuck to my seat. And then it became obvious..... it's missing that chill factor- not the feel good factor. It's missing, but never seen, the grotesque surrounding our man.

Excellent film: the science is accurate, the acting is solid, and the film carries an emotional depth that previous reviewers, who have been panning it, seem to have missed (but maybe they're not used to films where spaceships DON'T make noise in the vacuum in space and the audience actually has to think). One of Ridley Scott's best films.
