The Martian Movie Review

The Martian was one of the Toronto International Film Festival's most raved-about movies, but when we watched the space-set film starring Matt Damon, we were struck by one thing: the marketing doesn't really convince you that this is the crowd-pleaser that it is. The massively entertaining film has a lot going for it, but it's possible that those "Bring Him Home" posters may have made you feel like this is Saving Private Ryan 2: Mars Edition. So before the movie's release date this Friday, let us tell you how much you're really going to love The Martian.
