The Martian was like watching the cool kids show off an average science project that their parents had made. Overall a disjointed and underwhelming movie. Acting across the board seemed wooden & plain - swap the humans for puppets & some of the scenes set on Mars were like a Thunderbirds episode. The wacky humour(?) parts were forced & unfunny. While the nerdy components were very interesting they felt crammed & at times unnecessary. The movie jumped around & made limited sense in parts. "You can bring anything you want to Mars but unfortunately we only have room for 5 disco mp3s". Matt wouldn't have run out of tomato sauce (ketchup) if he hadn't of used a gallon on one meal the idiot. Some of the cinematography was nice & CG landscapes were well done, but like an alien face-hugger The Martian forces itself way too much upon the viewer.

Not very good... boring, plot was thin, background music overload, action overdone, acting average. Nice, respectful ending. A background film to watch while cleaning the house.

We only got through 20 minutes of this movie because of how poor it came across.. direction, screenplay, acting all left a lot to be desired. Have never read or heard much about the books so just going from the movie on its own - very poor. Urgh piano music - oh im meant to feel emotive now because some stupid piano is playing. Not very deep or thought provoking but we only saw 20minutes.

A movie with some definite potential that didn't quite make it. There were some great scenes mixed in with some average which left me disappointed. Seemed very much a US propaganda piece that **** actual events. Are all middle-eastern men inherently evil? Are all American men misunderstood heros? The movie gave me this impression, from a non-partisan point of view it left a bitter taste.. especially with the perpetual war-hungry state the USA seems to be in. Congratulating the CIA? I think i need a shower. Some good cinematography and sets. Good acting in parts although i felt the movie dwelt on Affleck's character & the fake Hollywood studio too much.. the comedy moments seemed forced.

I couldn't find much to like about this film, the cinematography was poor / borderline amateurish, the acting was mixed, ALL the themes were depressing (i could forgive this i guess), i had no interest in discovering 'who dunnit' as it felt like there was no engagement with the viewer, the lighting made the sets seem staged, plus a lot more. I thought the use of sexual violence was interesting but felt it had little to do with the plot - i have not read the book so can't comment on its relevance. The 'dragon tattoo girl' seemed pathetic in these situations and was hoping she'd stick up for herself sooner as her character seemed to suggest she would. Ended up playing Carcassonne half-way through with a friend as we both felt the movie wasn't really going anywhere (i lost).

Incoherent, self-indulgent mis-match of a movie. Insulting to Jews, Germans & anyone with knowledge of history or any sort of moral compass. I have no idea what this movie was trying to achieve, satisfy Tarantino's ego?
