The Martian

Is it any good or is it Sup Forumseddit tier ?
I was thinking of watching it ?

It's Ridley Scotts worst movie

If you can spend 3 minutes on Sup Forums, your time is worthless so I say go find out for yourself.

It's OK, but it's Damon, and the flavor of the month astronauts that shit it up.

I mean it has high score on IMDB and RT.

*fedora tipping intensifies*

Damon says he's gonna science the shit out of mars. It's ok in a sense that we have shit for sci-fy lately, so it's worth a watch.

I liked the movie but then I checked Sup Forums and I found out it's a reddit production so now I hate it.

I liked it, not everything has to be some artistic jerk off movie. It was obviously designed for the reddit crowd though.

It's worth watching, it's OK but not really note worthy

Ok thanks guys.

I found it to be too light-hearted in tone as well too concerned in earthly affairs for a movie called "The Martian". I was hoping for creepy, slow, procedural isolation kino and instead got wikihow Mars survival and politics.
Good enough but forgettable.

What you hoped for is nothing like the source material.

It's forgettable, but ok I guess. 6.5/10 sunday night popcorn movie

>I'm gonna science the shit out of this
>obvious space pop songs playing all the time
>quips everywhere
I don't know OP, you tell me

this movie was fucking terrible. do N O T watch it. total waste of time.

just watch the trailer then if you like the way it is advertised watch the movie.
you know most people you read movie reviews from are not people who's opinions you would value if you talked to them in real life

the mars scenes are kinda fun, the rest is garbage.

For some reason, plebs consider it to be one of Scott's best recent film.

It's one of the most passive films I've ever seen. Most of the action is shot in a way that Matt Damon, or some other character, drops exposition and then we see it happen on-screen (i.e. I'm going to grow potatoes because I'm running out of food -> cut to shots of him growing potatoes). The moments of dramatic action are also few and far between, and with the exception of the inciting incident and the third act plot twist, the stakes are never all that great, which makes overall for a very flat and dull film. So putting all that about the direction aside, you're left with a laundry list of meme lines, an annoying zany scientist whose purpose is to solely serve as some deus ex machina, and a boring side-plot about NASA politics that was obviously carried out without any real effort or inspiration.

I honestly don't think it's worth the time to watch.

I never say reddit to any movie

But this movie is 100% reddit

Felt like a typical Holywood movie
Interstellar tried to do something atleast

Martion was just stranded on Earth eating potatoes
Then we get a happily ever after ending
Kids kino

i will literally never watch this movie for the poster alone. it looks so self-indulging.

when you talk about movies to people their eyes gloss over with boredom and they start to check their phones, but you are too autistic to notice. just letting you know senpai

i watched it in theaters without really knowing much about it and jesus christ it is the rick and morty of movies. everytime he made some shitty epic 'science' joke or reference every neckbeard would chuckle really loud to let everyone know hes intelligent, he gets it. shit movie. bad writing. nothing happens in the worst sense, ie no development of themes alongside nothing literally happening. reddit rapper shows up halfway through. its awful.

>Is it any good or is it Sup Forumseddit tier ?
its a comedy

It's a dumb person's smart movie

that's Interstellar The Martian is just an action movie with sci-fi elements there not trying to be smart just because they use actual terms you faggot

Reasonably good movie but it had some very annoying forced diversity.

The big manager of the JPL is a black person and the young rocket scientist who comes up with the idea of how to save Damon's character is a black person. Right. Cal Tech and JPL are just loaded with black people and there are no Asians at all. (There was one token Asian in the film who looked like the total nerd loser idiot: short sleeve dress shirt, fat and dumpy looking, shitty hair, etc.)

Also, the plan to save Damon required technology that only China possessed. Sure, the movie takes place in the future but as of today, China hasn't even put a human on the moon yet; something the U.S. did 50 years ago. I guess this was to grub for Chinese money or maybe was necessary because some of the backers were Chinese companies.

These kinds of forced things really stick out and bother me about as much as heavy handed product placement (The Island was one such film.)

2001 is better.

Not him, but that is exactly what I was expecting when I started reading the book. Instead I got an adventure book that is funny occasionally but often tries too hard.

Pretty meh

There's literally zero science fiction in the Martian. Swing and a miss, big guy

The Martian comes off just authentic enough to make stupid people feel smart. If you actually know anything about the science, it's laughable. It's pornography for pseudo-intellectuals.

Didn't he stole script from Russian guy for this movie?

I had no interest in seeing it, but it was an entertaining 7/10 with annoying characters.

See pic related for proof Ridley Scott has dementia.

The quips made me groan and none of the characters are particularly fleshed out. Still decent overall.

DUDE MARVEL REFERENCES LMAO

it is NASA (Give as more money) propaganda. Basically what 2001 Space Odyssey would if Kubrick wasnt insane

With Ridley the higher the score the worse the film. The Counselor is kino.

I love science fiction.
I loved stargate, star trek, star wars, battlestar galactica, fucking interstellar, odyssey, event horizon, the expanse, blade runner (not strictly spacey for sure), fucking solaris, fucking read books and all the shit you can come up without being a fucking necbeard retard


and then I watched martian in cinema and all I could have done is go "meh"

even fucking gravity with retarded bullock face was better than this, because it had stunning visuals, as one of the astronauts said "the best representation of space view he has ever seen"

and martian is just meh. A waste of time, and even cringeworthy at the "science the fuck out of it" parts

also you stare at the damons fuckface way too long

so no, would not recommend, completly forgettable and shit-like, 5/10

this. it's crap.

oh, and as the anons brought up already, the chinese pandering is annyoing

The movie sucked, but the book is actually great, they just butchered it
