Note: thanks to the light prodding of a friend, this is my first foray into this forum. Ever. Yeah. <.<
Anyways, I thought that I may as well make it count, so I decided to pick what is easily one of my favorite movies - The Martian. It's been some time since I've watched it, although its core elements remain distinct in my mind, and I still find it awesome. Considering the number of movies that I've seen in the past and completely forgotten about/feel completely ambivalent about now, that's saying something. XD
What're your thoughts on the movie, ambiguous audience I'm pretending to talk to under the assumption I know your identities? Did you like the attempts the movie made to be relatively scientifically realistic? Was it realistic? How about the endless sarcasm and commentary of the main character and his challenges (I'm still laughing over his being a pirate. XD)? What about the action and sense of danger in the movie?
Personally, I'd have to say my greatest problem with the movie was that it featured a series of extraordinary and increasingly unlikely scenarios in order to just barely save the main protagonist. I dunno, it felt like it broke from the realistic tone of the movie and provided for a lot of drama, as epic as it all was. What do you guys think?
