    Look, now if you want to skew the general viewpoint about this movie, that is OK, you have the right to do so. In my point of view, this is an excellent movie, with plenty of correct references. I am not going to stop here: visuals are mainly great, acting crew is solid, although all these many familiar names are a bit of overkill for me, storyline is really top notch (nobody can trump a story about the victory of humankind over an obstacle), although some elements like the Chinese people cheering about an American NASA astronaut are a bit excessive. Science-wise, we are looking great, making great math from everything - food, water, calculating this, calculating that... although I don't know if I would have come up with all of the details of various science fields that the main character applied and displayed.

    Viewpoint of a psychologist: An unexpected twist made this film not only great entertainment but provided an extraordinary life lesson. When Damon staples himself together and absorbs the reality that he is there alone, one year of food and at least four years till rescue, rather than sink into despair he comes up with "I'm going to science the shit out of this!" and proceeds to do just that. This is restated in the final scene with the class of astronauts. The value of the central theme far outranks occasional stretches in believablility.

    Great adaptation of a very good book. As I read the book I could picture Matt Damon in the leading role. Loved everything about this movie. Ridley Scott has a way of directing that makes everything seem so real!

    I truly don't mind watching Matt Damon; but this movie was really out of this world - not much of a story; but lots of imagination.
