The Martian

Talk about some NASA propaganda, jimminy xmas.  Everyone is going to be sciencing the shit out of everything for a few months.  I have to admit I did get a little caught up in the excitement of it all.  But the good thing about Apollo 13 was you saw much of the hard work that saved those astronauts.  But in the Martian you find yourself thinking about the Fast and Furious franchise and how improbable the stunts and action are.  In one scene Matt Damon cuts a hole in his suit and "iron mans" it over to Chastain.  That reminds me, Chaistain was in that other propaganda piece Zero Dark Torture.  Our military complex overlords must like her for some reason.  

But seriously folks, this is an entertaining movie that attempts Apollo 13 heights, but does not quite get there.  I definitely enjoyed it though.
