The Martian (2015)

Wow! Fucking, wow!  This is pure awesome science fiction.  Science fiction at its best.  Saw an advanced screening tonight and in 3D.  I was seating in the second row to the front and you know what, I've really enjoyed the hell out of this movie.  Great story.  Great characters.  Love that there is a lot of humor on here.  Love that music is a big part of some scenes.  Matt fucking Damon delivers.  At first this seemed like an Interstellar ripoff so I was worried.  And I haven't been a fan of Ridley Scott for a long time.  But, this movie exceeded my expectations.  I'm a fan of Interstellar and Gravity but I think this would be my favorite space/astronaut movie out of the three.  Must see.  I don't usually see 3D movies but this was really good in that department.  It's a big blockbuster space movie but with a lot of heart.  It's a survival movie and a search and rescue movie.  Lots of science.  Kudos on the caffeinated astrodynamicist played Donald Glover.  Steals the scenes he's in.  I gotta have a potato food theme with this whenever it comes out.  The Martian is probably my favorite movie this year so far (or a really close tie with Mad Max).  This will be shown at Fantastic Fest later this week but it will be nationwide the following week.  Must see for sure.
9 out of 10.
