This film had a danger of being too sappy but they nailed the tone well!ДЈ. But then there are times where things go down and its very intense and heartfelt, this film manages to balance both tones very well. The jokes are well written and it helps to keep you enlightened. The tone this film is pretty funny actually. Jeff Daniels was great as well as the rest of the cast. Chiwetel Ejiofor was awesome! He is very likable and you are on his side when he tries desperately to get Mark Watney off Mars.

He was entertaining, he added a lot of humanity to his character and when there are scenes where he is sad as well as going through some difficult situations, you feel it.

Matt Damon was mesmerizing in this movie. The characters this film has a humongous cast so I'm going to list the stand outs, well for me anyway. The Martian was so great! I loved every minute of it! Let me explain what I loved.ДЎ. Ridley uses his dreamily effervescent and textured perspective to deliver a film that is great, if a tad overlong in places. Jessica Chastain is also a perfect compliment to Damon's presence, providing a cosmic yin yang chemistry. Damon doesn't seem to take the role too seriously and this is a good thing, however is performance is undeniably believable. Matt Damon's brilliant performance grounds the film throughout and is constant, committed and extremely well executed. It's a genuinely brilliant story, however. The Martian is not a comedy, but nor is it a thriller. The cheesy disco soundtrack helps fuel this slightly lighthearted feeling throughout and is also bolstered by the cameo of Kristen Wiig, mostly known for her dry and darkly comic roles and proves once again that she can lighten up the bleakest of films. Almost zany in its attempt to deliver a castaway story on Mars, its meandering tone and pace are refreshing in such a serious, heady genre and is probably the happiest film about space (are there really any happy films about space?), particularly being lost in space.
