Damon has never seemed more at home than he does here, millions of miles adrift. Would any other actor have shouldered the weight of the role with such diligent grace? Dec 8, 2015 | Full Review…

It's pretty sunny and often funny, a space oddity for a director not known for pictures with a sense of humor. Dec 8, 2015 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Bringing optimism, nerd-itude and a touch of crazy to his character's solo ordeal -- at one point, scraggly Watney calls himself a "space pirate" -- Damon is the key to the movie's exuberance. Nov 5, 2015 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

The film is a profound testament to the rare-and underrated-virtue of simply not screwing anything up. Oct 4, 2015 | Full Review…

The Martian plays to both Scott's strengths and weaknesses. By relegating Mark's predicament to a purely survivalist scenario, he keeps things humming along without ever widening the horizon. But there was an obligation to widen the horizon. Oct 2, 2015 | Rating: B | Full Review…

The Martian is a film that is driven and well-rounded family entertainment that is sure to please everyone and maybe make them want to go pick up a science book. Apr 10, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

The Martian is ultimately a love letter to the spirit that saw humanity reach for the stars in the first place. When it's channelling that spirit via Damon and witty writing it lifts off, but then can't quite sustain its trajectory. Apr 8, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

The Martian won't please those expecting a dark, terrorizing thrill ride where the heroes are in constant peril, but it'll make the rest of us laugh and cheer, which is something sci-fi blockbusters don't do enough these days. Mar 1, 2019 | Rating: 8/10 | Full Review…
