During a manned mission to Mars, Astronaut Mark Watney (Matt Damon) is presumed dead after a fierce storm and left behind by his crew. But Watney has survived and finds himself stranded and alone on the hostile planet. With only meager supplies, he must draw upon his ingenuity, wit and spirit to subsist and find a way to signal to Earth that he is alive. Millions of miles away, NASA and a team of international scientists work tirelessly to bring Inchthe MartianInch home, while his crewmates concurrently plot a daring, if not impossible rescue mission. As these stories of incredible bravery unfold, the world comes together to root for Watney's safe return. Based on a best-selling novel, and helmed by master director Ridley Scott, THE MARTIAN features a star studded cast that includes Jessica Chastain, Kristen Wiig, Kate Mara, Michael Pe~a, Jeff Daniels, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Donald Glover.

Great! Funny, but serious subject.

Matt Damon does a great job. This had many real aspects to it. Science fiction, but a lot of science in it. The only unlikely thing is that we probably will not send people to Mars and bring them back; they will likely just go to Mars and live there.

Good sequel to the first

Not as good as the first Hotel Transylvania, but a good sequel. Good gags for adults, but the kids enjoy it, too. Watch it several times and you will pick out new bits each time.

Better than I thought this was going to be!

I did not like Adam Sandler's early movies, but he has really done a good job in most of his latest movies. Pixels could have been really stupid (and it had it moments), but it turned some moments around to be funny or even inspiring. If you remember some of the old video games, you will enjoy this movie.

Good boxing movie. You feel for the character. He seems real and human. I found myself cheering for this movie and I was not disappointed.

For 19 year old Jay, fall should be about school, boys and weekends out at the lake. But after a seemingly innocent sexual encounter, she finds herself plagued by strange visions and the inescapable sense that someone, or something, is following her. Jay and her teenage friends must now find a way to escape the horrors that seem to be only a few steps behind in this critically-acclaimed chiller that Bloody Disgusting calls the scariest movie of 2015.

Creepy movie, but left some unanswered questions

Verified Purchase:Yes
Interesting premise. Good special effects. Creepy if you like horror movies. I thought it was reasonably realistic--people did what I would probably do in that situation, but it left me with a few unanswered questions which detracted from the movie. I probably think too much.

Really good special effects with surprises

As a computer person, I thought the AI discussions were good and not just a lot of techno-babble. There was some, but much of it made sense. It was a good story, but I did not like the ending. I thought it could have and should have ended differently.

Pretty good for a sequel, but not as good as first

I really liked the first Paul Blart, Mall Cop movie. It was cute and had a good story along with good comedy. This sequel was okay. Parts of it was really good--funny and feel-good. Other parts (the large minority) were a little predictable, but it was still better than many sequels out there. If you liked the first one, you will probably like this one.

Great for a sequel!

I did not know much about this movie series, but saw a trailer on another movie and decided to buy it. I liked it so well, I went out looking for the first movie! I think I actually like this sequel better than the first movie and I liked the first one a lot. The acting is good. I've been to India a few times and the scenery reminded me of those trips. Great story! Good idea!

Good action. Continuation of the Taken world.

Continuing the life and world of Bryan Mills and his family. Good action. The first movie was the best, but this one was better than the second movie. I liked all three. If you like Taken or Taken 2, Taken 3 will not disappoint. More of Bryan's friends/team are involved in this one and that adds some.

I didn't know what to expect!

Okay, I didn't know this was based on a Marvel comic! I really didn't know much about the movie except for the limited trailers I had seen. I loved it! I was surprised by some of the events and that's unusual; I usually see the twists and turns coming up. I was entertained and delighted by this film. I don't know how it compares with the comic, but on its own, it is a very entertaining film!
