Review of Martian (2015) by Bill F — 08 Jan 2019
Irritating to the extreme! Annoying jokey approach to what would be an incredibly serious incident. Some utterly laughable examples of good fortune. Deliberate and cynical use of inappropriate pop songs (presumably to sell more merchandise). Overlong for no apparent reason.
2001 it most certainly ain't (or even the excellent Alien, by the same director, before he became "Holywoodised").
They might as well have been done with it and cast Will Smith or Vince Vaughan in the lead to really pile on the irritation factor. I lasted an hour before deleting as I really didn't want to smash up my TV set in frustration. If you can last the distance, you deserve a medal!
