Customer Reviews

This is a disastrous movie.

John Carter… Oops, Mark Watney (Matt Damon) is part of the team of astronauts on Mars. Due to unplanned high winds, the mission is scrubbed. Unfortunately, on their way back, Mark gets what appears to be dispatched by flying debris and does not make it back to the ship. Is Mark dead or alive? If alive, how could he possibly survive all the perils, including the Martian trials and tribulations? Is it even possible to save him? This movie will keep you on the edge of your seat. ------ I could not wait for the movie to hit the rentals, so I went ahead and read the book first. They did an excellent job of following the structure and feel of the book. Each scene was played out well enough that you didn’t have to guess what they were doing. Including most of the potty mouth; this is not necessary and distracting from the movie, with maybe one or two exceptions, such as where he broadcasts a negative word throughout the world. The acting was excellent; the scenes were spectacular. Mars never looked more real. The technology was very close to real; you will not find yourself saying that’s impossible. Naturally, being a movie, though, they dispensed with a few of the disasters; however, because this is a disaster-after-disaster movie, you won’t notice the missing ones unless you’ve read the book.

Excellent Movie!

I absolutely loved it!
