OK, if you are a movie goer at all, you have to get to "Martian" as fast as you can.
I haven't figured which place if takes up but it one of my top five favorite movies.
Think of Tom Hanks in "Marooned" and double it and you'll get Matt Damon in "Martian".
It is a movie to make you believe in the human spirit and in human beings. At a time when things are so violent and frightening in the world, we need a movie like this. Really.
All the acting is amazing and the vistas of Mars are remarkable. But the huge cast is what makes it all work. It'll even make you love the Chinese....
Can you give 6 stars? I would.
Go see it.
