    The Martian

    Reviewed by

    What defines the Martian above all, is its ode to human intelligence and the possibilities that arise when problems are solved, one at a time. Problem solving seems to be the definite theme that spurs throughout this movie, life will always throw you curve balls and you need to solve them to survive.

    What makes The Martian so special is this mix of human intellect and our capacity to accomplish great feats of unimaginable proportions when we apply ourselves to solving some of the most gargantuan tasks in the world. But also, the sense of life, happiness and peace with the knowledge that it is all that we can do, try, one problem at a time.

    I really, really really have to take my hat off to Matt Damon who brought such life to the character with his wit and humor that it seemed almost too perfect a performance as I couldn't have thought of or expected anyone else to do it any better. It was just a sublime portrayal of brilliance, creativity and ingenuity, along with this happiness and sense life that is so rarely seen. The scenery is similarly mesmerizing, giving you a glimpse of beautiful picturesque scenes of what life on mars could be like.

    I must say that this fall is ending up to be a surprising treasure of fantastic movies. I have given out two perfect tens (for very different films) to very deserving movies: Sicario and The Martian. Out of the two, I would give a hair more to The Martian because it simply portrays so many qualities of human beings in one beautifully crafted piece. I wholeheartedly recommend this film as the one film you should see in this surprising fall festivity.
