Personally i really enjoyed this film and it got me really intrested in the science behind the film. However others are giving it alot of hate not too sure why. Matt damon suited the role well and i felt he really brought some thing special into this film. Along side that the visual effects were wonderful and brought out an awe inspiring first look at the red planet. The only thing that was wrong was the ending. The way he sent himself from the pod to the ship was just absurd Overall solid film anyone can enjoy

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.

To be honest, I am not sure where some of the negative reviews came from...but I have to wonder what kinds of movies they consider good...The Martian was simply put together very well, having a realistic plot, and a totally believable story...the scientific accuracy is the best I've ever seen in a scifi movie, and you can relate to what Mark Watney has to go through to survive. There might be a couple scientific inaccuracies, but you'd have to look very closely to pick them out...Yes, ok. The space ship was rather over the top design wise, and the actual rescue stretches credibility a bit...but overrall it is an excellent movie to watch...

This is an interesting story about a man who tries to survive and doesn't give up. He just doesn't give up and doesn't stress out too much, he continues working. This is what this movie is about.. It is an interesting movie and NASA and space stuff does look realistic (even though in real life it might be different actually).I really liked Jeff Daniels (guy from Dumb & Dumber) character, he is very serious, a real director and made this movie more realistic, because I think that his decisions really looked like something a real life director would do (for example in the end he didn't want to risk 5 astronauts for 1).
