Atom User Reviews
one of the best movies in years. life changing! !
Metacritic
A wide-eyed tribute to human ingenuity that packs enough snark to pull itself out of the black hole of earnestness, even if its fuel runs out partway through.
The director and screenwriter downplay the conventional melodrama inherent in the situation in favor of emphasizing how practical problems should be addressed with rational responses rather than hysteria, knee-jerk patriotism or selfish expedience.
As commercial entertainment, The Martian delivers on expectations of a smart blockbuster even as it adheres to the formula of a relatively simple feel-good drama. Though Interstellar aimed for more ambition, The Martian plays it safer: It's a brainy studio effort that sticks to familiar ground in more ways than one.
