Going to see The Martian in RPX 3D at 12:30. Since I blew my load on Jurassic World I'll only get to see this once.

The Martian deserves your money much more than Jurassic World

Is this the first movie youve seen since Jurassic world? Just wondering..

I tried to write a review for The Martian but it ended up being convoluted and not saying exactly what I want it to say. I'm gonna need another night to get my thoughts in order on this movie before I write a review.

The 3D in The Martian really isn't worth it. At all.

3D in general is just evil

That makes it 3 in a row for plausible sci-fi blockbusters. The Martian might not go as high as 700m like Gravity and Interstellar, but it's going over 500m WW for sure. If Passengers also becomes a hit next fall, we have a trend.

 

And it happens only a few years after NASA stopped sending people in space.

Good hold for The Intern. Is the movie any good? I usually can't stand Nancy Meyers and her style-porn for middle aged white women. I feel like the only direction she gives on set is "make the kitchen look more fabulous!!" 

I would say this is her most accessible work for different demos.  I'm a sucker for a good rom-com type film, but this doesn't necessarily fall in that category because it's much more focused on De Niro's character.  It's also the most charming role you'll ever see him in.  I would see it, even if you don't like her stuff.  The story has more flawed characters than are typically in her films, which I liked.

Noooo. I've seen a few since then. Not many admittedly.

[Ethan Hunt]

I kinda wanna go see The Martian again instead of going to homecoming tonight but I kinda spent $20 on a homecoming ticket

[Avatree]

Ugh. Taking my parents to see EVEREST tonight. I want to see MARTIAN again.

Oh okay hahahaha hopefully you'll enjoy the Martian as much as Jurassic world

[DAJK]

Good opening for The Martian! Sicario is also doing well obviously. I just don't know wtf happened with Everest.

Based off the performance of the Martian, we need a Luis/Winter Soldier spinoff in the MCU

Only if the Russos direct it, they're geniuses you know

I feel like the Martian is really a crowd pleaser. There was about a span of three minutes of film where the entire theatre was just erupting in laughter. ( these three minutes included one visual gag that was so incredibly hilarious it caused me to spill my water and I think I actually clapped at that moment too which is something I never do during a movie)

 

Which one is that?

Probably the part where he
