This is a great movie. I am so excited to see a movie that promotes science, rationality, and reason. It isn't through grit, or heroics, or "fiction" that the main character triumphs. It is by "solving his immediate problem, then surviving to solve the next, then the next, until you get to go home."

That said, the movie didn't deliver much of an emotional impact. We leave Damon's tight one man show on Mars too many times to follow along on an Earth that seems dully and silly – maybe that was the point. There is one ham fisted scene that indicates that the people of Earth care, but nothing that makes you feel like we are a planet of people united in rooting for this guy.
