Thank God Ridley Scott held the reigns on this project!
The result is there simply no better science fiction movie out there and that includes "2001..."
As usual, Scott paces 'The Martian' into the Goldilocks zone, keeping the pace brisk but not too fast.
Great film for tweeners and older kids with a Science is cool (for women and men) messaging without throwing it in your face.
The ensemble cast (headed by Jessica Chastain) delivers, and Damon is allowed to place his stamp on the lead role which requires largely carrying scenes by himself, with Scott interspersing efforts by his space and Earth teams keeping things moving and the audience informed at every step.
Sci-fi based on real science is rare in film. Another Ridley Scott masterpiece - He is simply one of the all-time greatest film directors, and The Martian one of his best. A must-see Top 100 All-Time Greatest Film.
