I had this on my to watch list ever since it was released and somehow never got around to it. A highly rated film about someone stuck on Mars? I expected the plot to be something like a man contemplating dying alone on a distant planet, something heavy and philosophical. I did not expect Science: The Film
That was the worst banter I've ever heard and frick they kept doing it for the whole 2 and a half hours. Half the script was just quips that were so bad even Marvel didn't wanna use them.
And why did Matt Damon eat all the time. Showing a character eating is a clever strategy tbh to make people dislike that character because it kind of grosses people out but why are you doing it to the protagonist ffs
The actual science was also Marvel tier. I lold how he made some fancy GUI chat application with animations and etc by typing in a few hexadecimal numbers into a grid.
I could kind of sense the subject matter expert they got in screaming in the background of the writers room and the redditors writing this shit going hmmm but no that's not le epic science enough he needs to shoot air out of his hands and make iron man jokes
I'd just class this as another crappy forgettable cheesy scifi but look at this
wtf is going on

Thank you. That's one of the movies I sometimes feel like an unrepentant curmudgeon for hating when seemingly the rest of the world loves it.
It's top tier fricking stupid. I'm not even talking about the MCU level science, though that was awful enough to make any of the intended dramatic moments look completely silly. Dude is stuck on a hostile planet, 99.9999% chance it's a death sentence and a cold, slow, lonely one as well...
LET'S MAKE MOST OF THE MOVIE CONSIST OF CHEEKY BANTER AND CUTESY ABBA SONGS

That's sort of the point though.
It's about the human spirit and the will to survive against overwhelming odds.
Like yeah some of it is reddit-tier, but there is no movie if in the very beginning he just airlocks himself because he calculated that his chance of survival wasn't good enough or w/e

yeah he should have just died in the first 15 minutes that would have made a better movie

How about some difficulty and a little sense of the impossibility he was facing so the resolution might have felt like something? Nah, we gotta move on turbo fast from him stuck on a lifeless planet to him pluckily growing poop potatoes and having sassy conversations with his crew members before people realize they're not watching Parks & Rec in space and get bored.
