The Martian is seriously the most boring sci-fi film I have ever witnessed. From start to finish, it felt like I was watching a university speech from a teacher for 2 hours. There was nothing interesting about this film, other than it was done in space. The visual effects are fantastic but the acting and the scenes were just dull, joyless and slow. In fact, my friend got me a extra pillow in case I needed it if the film was boring and boy, I was lucky to have that comfy pillow. This film may get the attention of sci-fi lovers but it will certainly not get the attention of those who find sci-fi films extremely boring, Interstellar was way better than this, even though it was a 2 hrs and 40 minutes film. It had no action which I thought was horrific. Do not watch this film unless you plan on bringing a pillow and a blanket
