All I can is, 

Best use of disco music ever

 

I think the fact it's light hearted at times does make it more enjoyable.

Ridley Scott has been hit and miss his whole career so I think its funny whenever people say hes been in a slump for awhile.  But when he hits, he tends to knock it out of the stadium and he just did it again.

Yep. He's always been hit and miss - both critically, financially, and in my own opinion of his films.

Ridley Scott’s “The Martian” may rocket into the box office stratosphere.

The outer space thriller is outselling “Gravity” at a similar point in its sales cycle, Fandango reports. The ticket service didn’t say how much the film was outpacing “Gravity” by, but it does report that “The Martian” currently accounts for 54% of weekend ticket sales.

Yesssss

Ridley has one of the most, if not the most inconsistent track record in Hollywood. But when he hits, he knocks it out of the park for a home run.

Does The Martian's story justify it's incredibly long length? It has been a long time since I last went to see a 2 hour and 30 minute movie in theaters.

I didn't notice the length. I went into it thinking 'this is gonna be long' but by the end of the film's story, I thought 'huh? Isn't there half an hour more?'

It really does fly by.

[Avatree]

So how is 3d in this?

3D hurt my eyes less than usual. Nothing comes out of the screen except for the UI on the vlogs.

I just passed a mass of people leaving a showing. This is what I really like about the film: working in a cinema and seeing so many people just having a big dorky grin on their face. Feelgood blockbusters done well can feel so satisfying.

I love the contrast between the rigorously detailed scientific accuracy, and the film's refusal to take a serious tone with itself. Makes for very pleasant and intelligent viewing. I'm glad it is hitting off this weekend. (Incidentally, we have been very very busy, all the shows were absolutely heaving. As I said before, this is the biggest opening since Inside Out.

Gravity sucked balls so I'm happy with this.

These things are always so vague they're mostly useless, but it is great to know pre-sells are high.

This is your last chance to vote for The Martian and probably Sicario too. So go vote for Spectre and Star Wars and whatever else you're looking forward to.

Not to mention every movie seems to be tracking better than movies from even last year only to fall behind in actuals (Ted 2 outpacing Ted for example). Gravity also had a 80% 3D share which this won't get.

Stop trying to talk me, I said we're done.
