Just this past year we saw 2015 come and go and it wasn't really anything like the 2015 that Marty McFly experienced. The film in that sense avoids a trap like so many others fall into. They never really say just exactly what year The Martian is set in. Compared to what Matt Damon has to go through, Robinson Crusoe was on that tropical isle for a picnic. It's a desert planet with water and no life as we know it. One of the film's best strengths is that it is based on what we know about the landscape and atmosphere of Mars right at this point in time. It really deserved better.Although The Martian is set in an indeterminate future I have questions about labeling it science fiction. It's too bad this movie didn't get any respect. If they put in all the 'how did they eat, shower, go to the can, and buy food stuff the movie would have been 6 hours long! That's what you use your imagination for after the movie is over. As to all the nit picking, well yeah, I did that too. Let's just say I wish I'd known somebody with her personality when I was younger. Why? Well, I don't want to deconstruct it too much. I found Ki, the martian tagger, especially appealing. The humans looked and acted like real people to me. I'm sorry many people didn't find any likable characters. So what did you expect? Aside from that I thought all the actors did a fine job with their parts and I liked what was done creating the martian world. The conflicts in the movie will be resolved without bloodshed or body parts being flung about and the movie will have a happy ending. It will not have a lot of controversial social commentary. The movie will have to appeal to the broadest family audience possible. It will be a movie that adheres to some pretty strict rules. Frankly I am perplexed at the negative press and hatred thrown at this film. ![]()
