ReviewsHitfix - It takes a genuine master craftsman to take something as complex and difficult as this and make it look easy, but it also takes an artist with a great ear to take something as dense with exposition as this is and make it practically sing., Wall Street Journal - WhatÆs so fascinating about the film is that it truly turns on the solving of problems, and its chief solver, stuck on Mars, manages to be so funny, interesting and infallibly likable that youÆre invested in his predicament at every moment., Hitflix - It takes a genuine master craftsman to take something as complex and difficult as this and make it look easy, but it also takes an artist with a great ear to take something as dense with exposition as this is and make it practically sing.

Exellent used video in first class condition.
This is a used DVD in excellent condition at a very good price. The story is improbable, but scientifically credible, and very entertaining.

Enjoyable ripping yarn
An entertaining if wildly implausible 2hr 20mins ripping yarn. Soil and dust NASA informs us is chlorine toxic, human poo full of pathogens, Martian 120mph dust storms wouldn't even blow Watney over but never mind, don't let reality get in the way, it's still an enjoyable ride and a good value DVD 👍👍

Excellent Film!
I can't review the DVD as such as it was a present for a cousin, so I haven't watched it. But I did see the film before buying the DVD so will review the film. I thought Matt Damon's performance was excellent, and the film was very engaging - a well balanced mix of drama and black humour. It kept my attention throughout and I left the cinema feeling uplifted by the outcome - one man's triumph over real adversity. I'd see it again and will certainly do so when it makes its way onto TV.

Had to see movie again after visiting Wadi Rum
Great movie, great location in Jordan for filming. If you are lucky enough to go there, stay at Zeina Lodge in Wadi Rum.

Life on Mars
Abandoned astronaught Matt Damon has to survive on Mars a la Robinson Crusoe until a rescue plan can be devised. It's a good film and has a fun soundtrack. Gripping at times however, some of the other characters are dull.

Martianmite!
Matt Damon is terrific actor and how he potray his character makes you feel for the astronaut to get back to Earth and his family. It's time for him to be Acadamy Award winning actor.

Very thought-provoking
An excellent film. Entirely credible - perhaps - but shows the determination to survive that I believe we all possess. Is this where our future lies ?
