  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.

  Glad you enjoyed The Martian, Jose Mourinho and Clitterbug, you are in for a treat. Its a testament to a film with the premise that it has and with the films run time to make it not boring and make the time itself seem to just fly by. For me, The Martian acheived that. The film is full of humour as well which is a great touch.

  it was a decent film but it went on too long in my opinion...could have done with one less failed attempt to save matt damon but oh well. the movie took time to get interesting and the got uninteresting real quick...whoever wrote the script has a decent sense of humour though it must be said

  I actually went to cinema to see this when it was coming out and thoroughly enjoyed it. Yes there isn't much action in the film but that didn't affect the quality of it. The whole thing was very visually appealing with everything looking so good and Matt Damon did an excellent job with the role considering he was by himself for most of the film.

  I saw this in the cinema and really enjoyed it, at the time i compared it to Gravity, but enjoyed the Martian more, as it had it moments of slight comedy, whilst Gravity just seemed like when you play a video game and escape death numerous amounts of times lol
