Seen the movie already? What do you think? Didn't watched it yet? Then go on reading! But first warning, watch film first, then read the book.
About the book- wait for Blog entry later.
Well, now let's see what I can tell you about the movie from Ridley Scott, who is known for science fiction movies. Mostly they used to be dark and cold and feeling more disillusioned.
Not the Martian you will see in 3D. Sure the man on the moon (actually playing on mars) has cold times to suffer but red is quite a warm color and stranded as he is, unlikely it sounds, he has survived a storm, while the crew blew away into orbit again. Alone he faces the dreat of -must not die- scenario, which could be very depressing and boring to watch.
Thought the movie is made from the book of the same name, it does not contain all the thinking and views you can read.
But it is not an action in space movie, more a how a quite funny guy tries it's best and how people on earth react when they found out that he is alive, not dead and they have to figure out how to save him.
Bad luck lies on the way and those things make the story go forward on and on.
The narrative pace is going bit up and down but never to slow or to fast and you have easy to follow the story. 3D even makes it more fun to watch all these go by and the actors are very well choose. The technic is up to date and very pleasing for the eye to watch.
As it is, a movie can hardly translate all the things from the book, so that's why I recommend to see it first as it lets out some scene and funny talking and comedy and also some drama. It just was not able to put into the movie and the end also has been changed a bit to match the Hollywood fantasy- I guess.
Nevertheless the movie is fun to watch as it is positive, hopeful and Matt Damon is just perfect in his acting and guys has he a sexy butt or what?!
It all looks easy, but the book will show you more the other side, so you are save and can have a popcorn cinema night with your friends.
Give it 4 out of 5 stars, as the movie is missing the bit extra, which is in the book to find.
So watch it and relax.
Love & Light
