Hiya, Fluffsters!
I’m not sure if you remember this or not, but Fluffy shared a trailer for the movie “The Martian” a bit ago.
Anyway, I’d heard good things about it, so I went to see it recently.
It was really well done!
Terrifying and suspenseful in a lot of places, but well done. Like, seriously. Even before the bad stuff happened, when they were just showing the mission going well and the panoramic view of Mars during the first 15 seconds or so, the silence and starkness of it was enough to evoke a “Gosh, this is terrifying!” response.
But Matt Damon really brought out the humor of the character, which helped provide some amusing moments in an otherwise extremely tense film. I really liked it. And it definitely did justice to the book. (Yes, I read it.)
So, yeah. It was crazy intense, included some stuff that would normally get a higher than PG-13 rating (but somehow didn’t), and also included a person doing surgery. On himself. It was tense.
But I really enjoyed it, and definitely recommend it if you like suspenseful movies!
Have a lovely Thursday!
