I like the actor in this movie and have seen him in other things, but I'm afraid I must say that this is one of the most boring movies I have ever seen in my entire life. I can't even tell what the point of this movie is. I can tell that the filmmaker obviously thinks he has something very deep and important to say but it never comes across, so we end up with a two hour long bore fest of a movie that basically can be entirely summed up by "a guy goes to Mars, his water purifier gets broken on the way but he continues anyway, then he lands on Mars". Throw in tons of silent shots of him sitting by the window, reading, trying to sleep, bantering with one of the Wilson brothers pointlessly about nothing, working with tools, watering plants, and writing in his diary, and you've got a super long and boring film.
I think the main problem is probably the guy who wrote and directed this, it is the first and only thing he has ever made so probably he had no idea what he was doing or how to make it interesting. If you are going to try to be a copycat of The Martian at least try to be at least 1% as interesting.
The only reason this snooze fest gets a 2 instead of a 1 from me is like I said I like this actor and it's not his fault he had nothing and nobody to work with.
