Monday this week was a busy old day on the film watching front. Watched the very average Crimson Peak, the really good 'The Revenant' and lastly 'The Martian'. Has anyone else seen the film? What did you think. Starring Matt Damon and directed by Ridley Scott, given all the praise the film received gotta wonder what could possibly go wrong. The good news is very little, its actually a really enjoyable. A lack of action, some comedy and the bulk of the film being just him on hiis own on mars, on the face of it sounds really dull. Believe me its not. Handled in such a way that boredom was never an issue and despite the runtime, the film never plodded along. Niocely paced with some inspired choices and timing of music. This coupled with great performances and a main antagonist that you really wanted to root for. All these facts make for a thoroughly enjoyable film. Recomended.
