Really excited about this. The book is great.

What, an official trailer already? Didn't the book come out in 2013/14?

Anyways, I started reading the book a while ago, and I really like it so far.

Holy Hells, that looks amazing!

Okay, I'm reading the book now.

Fox pushed the release date up to October 2.

That's interesting, You think it's cause there is Oscar potential for this?

Its interesting casting putting Matt Damon as the stranded astronaut considering he played the insane stranded astronaut in Interstellar. Also, Jessica Chastain also in the film having a role in Interstellar while not an astronaut.

No, I think they moved it up due to the potential box office. Now it won't have to compete with Pixar, Hunger Games and the new Rocky spinoff. Fox probably sees more potential from this over the Frankenstein movie it switched places with.

Releasing a movie in Oct instead of Nov would have no impact on the Oscars.

The book is amazing. Can't wait to see this movie.

*NinjaPug* · 10-02-2015, 02:13 PM

Saw this last night. Really great movie. In my Top 3 for the year with Fury Road and Inside Out. I was hesitant about Matt Damon but he was a perfect fit for the role.

Hope Ridley has a directors cut that includes some of the scenes cut from the book.

I meant to write this on Friday since I saw the movie with a group of friends. Besides being the first movie I have actually seen in theaters in whoever knows long, Martian was awesome. It was logical, the cast and effects felt excellent, just an overall awesome film.

I would give it an 8/10, mostly because some of the cast doesn't get to shine, especially the black scientist. (I don't know his name) Other than a few confusing areas, it's easily one of the best films of 2015 and one of the best Ridley Scott films in a while. Highly recommended to anyone.
