He got a bit huffy once when something broke and he was a bit emotional when he was finally being rescued, but he showed none of the signs of a person completely isolated for a year. The isolation of his situation raree showed in his character. He always had a perfect solution for everything, he was basically super human. He didn't appear to have much of a family at home that he missed (he asks Lewis to send his love to his parents once, but that's it), everything seemed to go very well for him in general. The stakes for Mark's survival were never very high. When the last montage came on, I felt myself drift off. There were times I was really truly bored. I thought it was much longer than it needed to be. I found it lacking in tension, emotion, and character development. For a movie about such a truly horrific and desolate situation, I was shocked that its tone was highly upbeat for 90% of the movie. I'm very interested in space topics, though, so I thought I'd at least enjoy it. I didn't read the book and I'm not particularly into science.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Do yourself a favorite and go see this amazing science fiction film and then read the book. The Martian is also the most motivational film i've seen in years. Also the film is just so dammed funny, its great to see a film not make this horrifying situation a sad angsty ride. Everything felt so real, and the tension experienced by the main Character, excellently portrayed by Matt Damon, makes the situation feel ever so human as he find the determination to beat the odds and try his damnedest to survive. This is the most grounded science fiction film I've seen. Yeah, Mad Max was absolutely incredible, but the Marian is easily one of the most satisfying science fiction films I've seen this year, and i love science fiction. Yeah, Mad Max was absolutely incredible, but the Marian is easily one of "What makes a movie Good to Great is simply add a dash of Bowie and the film just glows like a Fabulous transgender diamond" This is my favorite movie of the year.
