It was fun, but please, don't fucking tell me that TM was better than IS or Gravity, because it wasn't.

Yes it was. Gravity and Interstellar are B-'s, Martian's an A-.

I personally like Interstellar the best, but would totally understand one preferring any of those films over the other since they are all so good.

I'll say this then:

 

[Empire]

The Martian was better than IS and Gravity

Yep. I honestly thought it was far better than both.

I liked em' all, but there was one I liked more than the others. The others are about tied.

I would like to add that Prometheus is better as well. 

 

 It's easily more atmospheric, has better performances and slightly more engaging characters, far better visuals, people are not explaining what they are going to do/are doing with examples every half hour and we don't have to endure things like

let one die or risk the lives of 5 people

or

it is so important to tell Hermes's crew that Damon is alive, SO IMPORTANT!

, the story is not so horribly cliche, etc.

 

Prometheus way more interesting overall.

Martian was great movie, it made Interstellar look like Fantastic Four

[La Binoche]

Copied my post from the wknd thread: 

 

I LOVED The Martian! Better than the book, and much better than the grossly overrated Gravity (sorry Sandy, you still hold a special place in my heart!). Watney sometimes came off as smug in the book and his humor felt forced at times, but Damon makes it work. All of it works -- the action, the thrills, the suspense, the emotional journey, the disco music (the song that plays over the end credits LMAO). 

 

And where are the dweebs who said Jessica Chastain is barely in the movie?? WTF. 

 

Go King Ridley! Fingers crossed that WOM carries this to $200M+ DBO. 

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

Really fun movie. Legs will be great. My sellout crowd loved it.

[water]

i haven't seen the martian yet but it vs interstellar vs gravity really seems like a situation where their rt scores are reflective of how good they each are..

[AniNate]

Interstellar was better

[The Futurist]

If my maths are correct, Ridley will be 85 when he makes another great movie.

 

[kowhite]

Excellent movie, hope it has the legs it deserves.

The Martian is Ridley Scott's 23rd film and, adjusted, it will probably end being his 4th most successful film unless Martian develops very sexy legs & manage to reach Hannibal, Alien heights.

Gladiator seems safe but who knows ?
