Hello all,
I'm actually super excited for this one, so I'm going to skip over this opening and go straight into it.
Plot Summary - In the near distant future, The Mars Crew of the Ares III prepare to evacuate after a massive storm heads towards their encampment. During the evacuation, Astronaut and Botanist Mark Watney (Matt Damon) gets struck by debris and presumed dead. When he recovers, he finds himself stranded alone on Mars without a way to contact NASA.
Pros - Right off the bat, it’s a gorgeous looking movie. The Mars scenes are super cool to watch and all the scenes on earth manage to capture the mood of every scene near perfectly. The cast is phenomenal and every role is balanced out perfectly enough for every character, which they do by making smaller roles more memorable and the bigger roles more involved in the whole story. The story is also told with a surprising amount of humor as well, and it manages to balance out the few but very heavily dramatic and tense moments placed throughout the film.
Cons - I got nothing for this one.
Final Score - 10/10
I’m going to say this right now, top three for this year at least guaranteed. This is one of the best films so far this year and it deserves all the hype.
Sicario will be next, don’t know when just yet.
Until then, I’ll see you folks at the movies.
