The Martian - Reviews

Throughout the course of this long but never dull film, Mark makes for an affable and centered lead character...

Like all Hollywood science fiction, it is indebted to visual rhetoric effectively invented by Kubrick: the giant planetary curvature looming into the upper or lower half of the screen...

Anchored by another great turn from Matt Damon, The Martian mixes smarts, laughs, weird character bits and tension on a huge canvas.

...delivers on both intergalactic spectacle and feet-in-the-soil character drama.

…aldrig har det väl varit så hisnande att se någon odla rotfrukter i avföring.

...Marks kamp for overlevelse [bliver] både fascinerende og medrivende. Scott formår endda at få ens indre naturvidenskabsnørd frem.

I ‘The Martian’ finder man ingen store, banebrydende idéer, men Scotts realisering af at være udstationeret på Mars er i sig selv billetprisen værd.
