Review of Martian (2015) by Peter C — 23 Dec 2017

Delightful.

I can't imagine a better cast for each of these roles. The story itself brings just the right amount of drama, humor, scientific detail, and "what if.".

I expect science fiction/fantasy to explore what it means to be humans in relationship. This film does that well, from human solitude to shared risk. Plus the subtle nods to just how miraculous the presence of life (including human life) is.
