I went to this movie because I am interested in how NASA, and maybe other space travel enthusiasts may see the future for us in space. I also wanted to see Ridley Scott come away with a real winner.

I came away very disappointed.

There was not enough science in the developing of this story...just a lot of space needing to be filled. I didn't care to see alien conflicts. I didn't care to see mega weaponry. Sure there was some clever resourcefulness but not worthy of a 2 hour movie.

While I am not a big fan of Mark Watney's creativity(he was a knowledgeable scientist doing what scientists do), he was more creative than the creators of this movie.

Seriously, this movie was like going to work and dealing with everyday problems. What's the big deal? I cannot condemn the acting but I do condemn the material the actors had to deal with. And for two hours??? If the creators had shown more interest in the content I would have been more interested myself.
