What a dumb fucking movie. I mean it wasn't a bad movie, I was entertained and it was enjoyable to watch but it's just so fucking dumb.

Ripley was a well written female character played by a competent actress, the commander in The Martian is not.

Fuck you, make a good movie.

How about you learn to read anything longer than a 4chan comment so you can actually enjoy a story the way its meant to be told, fuckwit
>>64655980
if the book is how its meant to be enjoyed and is necessary for understanding the flick then why bother making or watching the flick in the first place?
>>64655980
The book sucks you fucking retard, you seriously feel like you're superior because you read the Martian?
Pure story driven fairy tail NASA propaganda bullshit movie. Those CGI Ridley Scott shots of mars were cool afdoe.

Dumbest movie in a long time.
Why is there zero character development in this movie? There are DOZENS of characters but they are so shallow. Even Matt Damon's character, which is essentially the film, doesn't actually get any development other than being a SUPER BOTANIST who also happens to be an amazing engineer. physicist, and what not who knows how to "run the numbers."

A film doesn't have to have character development to be a fun action flick. The Fast & The Furious films are a great example, shallow characters and the same plot every time, but fun as fuck. It knows it's stupid and revels in it.
The problem with The Martian is it's tripping over itself to try and prove how ebin nerdy smart I FUCKING LOVE SCIENCE it is at every turn and it just gets obnoxious. If it was the same plot but they actually made the characters say things that normal people say and have normal motivations it could have been great.
