A24 4,326 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 But still smarter movie buffs know not to look at all!Like I said last week, this is an "ok, fun" film. It's getting showered with praise because the bar has been so lowered and it delivers something that in 1997, say, wouldn't be all that fresh, but is now a bit novel. Of the three big space films in recent memory, it's right in the middle - easily, easily beating the Cuaron affair. Anyone looking for evidence that their beloved early days Scott still exists will probably still be disappointed though entertained. And I'm almost certain this isn't an Alex Cremers film. If it is, everything he bases his tastes and preferences on is a fraud!Based solely on the trailer of The Martian, I know I'm not going to love it, but like you said, it could be a pleasant little flick, kinda like Thelma And Louise was.Ellie Bamber joins Jake Gyllenhaal and Amy Adams in Tom Ford's Nocturnal Animals:http://variety.com/2015/film/news/ellie-bamber-tom-ford-nocturnal-animals-1201597091/Hehehehe, I loved Tom Ford's A Single Man and now Jake Gyllenhaal plays the lead in his next movie? Hehehehehehe.Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,232 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Cuaron's film was excellent. Far better then Prometheus and more successful in its intention then InterstellarPrometheus > Gravity, not even kidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My track record is good for sci-fi space movie attendance. Gravity, Prometheus, Interstellar, etc.So far they rank thusly:3. Prometheus2. Interstellar1.

Quintus 5,399 Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 But still smarter movie buffs know not to look at all!That's true enough, but I sometimes use the likes of RT to tip the scales for me when I'm pondering the merits of giving a curiosity film a chance. If the consensus is that nobody seems to agree about a film (usually the ones which hover around the 40-60% 'rotten/fresh') then that can make me want to see it specifically for that reason.The Martian is one that I'll be seeing in the theater.Possibly me too, because the stranded/lost in the wilderness is probably my favorite sub-genre, and I'm always looking for another Hell in the Pacific.
