MARTE

Ridley Scott Estados Unidos, 2015
A children's movie about how great science is... Maybe the film is so bright because the days are thirty-nine minutes longer on Mars than on Earth, the same thirty-nine minutes that should have been cut from this Friday-less Robinson Crusoe. Kristen Wiig, however, is on hand to show that girls aren't into The Lord of the Rings.

Apocalypse Now
It's a good movie. It's fun. Ridley engages in playfulness, something he didn't even try in his misbegotten, joyless romcom A Good Year... It's the fun he's having that makes me forgive how fucking cute the script can be. Some of that dialogue is…not good. The nerd who wrote the book may have a great grip on the way nerds think, but he can't write dialogue normal people would say to each other.

There is so much to praise, but I couldn't help but just be so taken with and amazed by Matt Damon's performance, because let's remember, the majority of the movie he is all by himself... Every scene has its own energy and thrust (he must do this, he must try this now, he must fix this, he has an idea!!, he tries to accomplish things), and with each scene, each obstacle, each triumph, the character goes through the full spectrum of emotions.

Scott's ideas and his skills mesh so happily that they sent this viewer nearly bouncing out into the street, propelled by a blast of cinematic pleasure that soon dissipated and left a hollow so big as to nearly swallow up the entire viewing experience... The relentless focus on technical achievement, in the absence of the complexity of the characters is the very antithesis of artistic creation. The first remarkable, impersonal technical achievement that Scott seems to be celebrating is his own.

The film is enjoyable but shallow. Its most glaring omission is the lack of any complex psychology for Mark, who survives all alone for years while remaining not just compos mentis but downright perky, except perhaps right at the end when he briefly grows a beard and refers to himself as a "space pirate". You'd think the video journal would provide a perfect opportunity to show his gradual breakdown, but director Ridley Scott merely uses it to move the plot forward.

It's hard to detect a directorial signature here. Scott's style is magisterial but dull; he doesn't even play with scale and cutting the way Christopher Nolan did in Interstellar (2014). Ultimately, this is an elaborate, massively budgeted film about an army of talented people working together to accomplish something that feels very small in the grand scheme of things. In other words, The Martian is a perfect allegory for itself.

The Bangkok Post
With or without water on Mars, The Martian opts for the safe mode of human triumphalism. The film is racked with clichés, but largely because of Damon's presence as a compact ball of energy and optimism, The Martian ends up a passably impressive tale of survival, fired with a curious mix of thrill and humour.

In The Martian, Matt Damon plays a cosmonaut as emotionally barren as the ochre planet on which he's stranded. Ridley Scott's latest film is a robotic exaltation of science, problem-solving and ingenuity; if you can tolerate the gaping logical perforations on its admittedly rambunctious surface, you'll still have to wade through a sea of Cold War-era pro-American sentiment to see the human drama, which is relegated to the sub-subtext.

The Martian, Ridley Scott's story of an astronaut struggling to survive by himself on a desolate planet, is at heart a shipwreck story, one that just happens to take the form of a science fiction adventure. But although the outline offers no surprises, the details and the tone feel new... The most fascinating thing about the film is how it leans into predictability rather than make a show of fighting it.

There are those that like to assert that science is a religion of its own. That's utter nonsense, for a variety of reasons that would require this entire review to unpack, but The Martian... comes close to serving as the secular equivalent of faith-based inspirational films like God's Not Dead and 90 Minutes In Heaven. Thankfully, it's not as ham-fisted as that genre, and understands that any message should reside beneath a protective atmosphere of pure entertainment.

The Martian" has sweep but not the vanity that creeps into many large productions, turning them into bloated vehicles for directorial self-aggrandizement. Mr. Damon's Everyman quality (he's our Jimmy Stewart) helps scale the story down, but what makes this epic personal is Mr. Scott's filmmaking, in which every soaring aerial shot of the red planet is answered by the intimate landscape of a face.

In The Martian [Scott has] made what may be his most personal movie by sticking to a just-the-facts approach. Watching this film you sense the kinship between Scott's best big-studio epics, with their intricate craftsmanship and uncompromising instinct, and NASA's boldest space missions, with their complex logistics and seat-of-the-pants inspirations. The Martian is a shot in the arm for the space program. It's also a revitalizing celebration of Hollywood professionalism.
