‘Mainly starring’ Matt Damon and one helluva ensemble cast, Jessica Chastain, who should be named Murph forever, Jeff Daniels (Harry for life), Sean Bean (Boromir – appearing to be shady, but ultimately good guy), Chiwetel Ejiofor (stoic Solomon), The Martian should have won all outstanding cast awards this year. Clearly, Ridley Scott is to directing what Leonardo Di Caprio is to acting, if you go by the Oscars ! Interestingly it did not change Ridley Scott’s luck with the Academy, who did not win a nomination for Best Director. The Martian has 7 Academy nominations including Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Adapted Screenplay – all of which points at it’s fantastic reception with the Academy. After all, who can resist the urge to say – ‘In your face, Neil Armstrong’ ! Drew Goddard can take a bow for this and many such brainwaves through the film. Whether it’s really a comedy or not can be debated – but the film has undeniable humor and some seriously funny one liners, that we’re sure will enter the ‘movie quoters’ lexicon.
The Martian’s won a bunch of awards already this season, including the Best Actor in a comedy or musical for Matt Damon and Best Picture comedy or musical at the Golden Globes. The long spanning shots of Mars’s surface (Wadi Rum in Jordan) are absolutely fabulous and for that the credit goes to the cinematographer, Dariusz Wolski.

Within a couple of weeks, Andrew Weir had a publisher and a movie deal with Ridley Scott ! If that’s not an american fairy tale, what is?! The Martian is another one of Ridley Scott’s sci-fi fantasies, backed by bigger, brighter visuals than ever before.

Andrew Weir put together the book on public demand and published it as a PDF on Amazon at an attractive price of 99c. The Martian was a hobby project, where regular episodes were posted on a blog. The movie is based on a book by Andrew Weir, that was never supposed to be a book in the first place. There are no crazed aliens out to get you, or robots cut loose, or scientists with dark ulterior motives and even the planet is not out to kill you, at least for most sols! So you may wonder what’s in the movie when all these rich plots of the past have been dropped? Well don’t go losing all hope so soon! The Martian is the story of an astronaut beating all odds with his unconventional survival tactics, peppered with a healthy dose of wit and humour. A first for this genre, The Martian practices reckless optimism, way more positive than any other space movies made before. The Martian is somewhat of a formula ‘outer space’ sci-fi movie, giving sci-fi buffs a healthy dose of all things they dig, but with a twist.
Some worthwhile and some better in space than on your hard drive!
Among these our celestial neighbor (not the moon, the other one) has a special place with 29 films to its name, if you go by this Wiki article. When you think of sci-fi films, let me be more specific ‘outer space’ sci-fi films, what comes to mind? Aliens, alien worlds, most obviously, space exploration (all Star Trek fans say Yay!), and everything in the middle from philosophy (think Interstellar ) to outlandish drama (think Armageddon ) to horror (you thought we wouldn’t remember Event Horizon !). Sahil’s TL DR Don’t forget duct tape when you go to space. Adi’s TL DR We’ll have to write the shit out of this!
