Customer Ratings & Reviews

A real slave adventure that captures the emotions of one man stranded on another planet. Think Castaway on Mars.

I bought this product based on the many excellent reviews and the fact that I am a science fiction fan. The reviews were right. The color rendition is fantastic, and the surround sound is tremendous. I also bought the book and read it before watching the movie. The movie is a good rendition of the book, but of course with less detail. I really recommend this movie to display what your 4K and surround system can do.

If I was just reviewing the film, I'd give it 5 stars. I'm only commenting on the image quality, which for a UHD film is very good at times, and at others is okay. The source is only 2K, and I noticed quite a bit of artifacting in certain scenes. The 4K upscale just doesn't seem to be as good when compared to other titles. The redeeming quality is the color mastering. If you have a full 10-bit display (ie NOT an HDR premium display) for HDR, the color truly makes up for the resolution shortcoming. I would much prefer to have a lower resolution source, and amazing color. Instead of a full 4K source which mediocre color. If you love the film and have a true HDR TV, then this is worth the extra cash, plus you get an extra 15 minutes of film! If not, go ahead and buy the regular Blu Ray for half the price. Most 4K TVs have excellent upscaling, and you'd be missing out on the extra color depth regardless.

In recent memory, this is oen of the better "Hard" Sci-Fi, grounded in reality somewhat, for a fictional trip to Mars (and perhaps Humans will be writing a non-fiction account if they ever go there). This is also based on the book of the same name, and over all, it matches up close enough to it. For the 4K release in particular, alongside the Bluray, there are definitely areas of the film that are improved in picture quality. The colors, like red, blue, and greens are very vibrant. Some interior set shots aren't as good over the Bluray. The sound quality is even better.

My review is for the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray. My five stars rating is based on the movie itself and the quality of this edition, I watched this movie for the first time on streaming and I loved the movie and its visuals. I just got this 4K Ultra HD and wow! it's so amazing. The Dolby Vision HDR quality is so great and playing it on my Dolby ATMOS sound system is just stunning! Best latest purchase, I hardly recommend it.

Unlike the many sci-fi films that Hollywood seems to spew out like molten lava, The Martian actually has an interesting storyline that will keep viewers engaged throughout. Some plot improbabilities aside, and like Gravity there are a good number, Matt Damon holds things together in this mostly one-character film. The visuals are absolutely stunning and the Martian landscape is as "real" as I have ever seen it portrayed in films. Even if you have seen this one in the theater, as I did, the home experience is even better, provided one has the player and display to do it justice.

Completely worth every dollar. The fidelity is amazing and the color gamut in this world of extreme darkness, lit only by the holodeck, and amazing red sand with shots back to earth is all shown off wonderfully. If you're looking to try out your new OLED, I watched this on my LG C1 in filmmaker mode (as the maker intended) and it was eye watering, just enough to salvage for the potatoes.

This is a stunning 4K disc; I personally enjoy Ridley Scott's films so having such a rich image only enhances the experience for me. If you're an audiophile, you'll love the Atmos audio track on this disc. The Martian Extended Edition sets up a very rich and vibrant sound stage and you'll enjoy the workout your setup gets with this movie. A definite must-have for 4K/film enthusiasts

Action? Thriller? Not sure what genre this is, but it was entertaining nonetheless.

An okay movie but well worth the 4K because of the picture quality and the sound

Matt Damon is awesome in this 4K edition. Great story with top notch graphics and sound.

I found this movie to be highly entertaining. When my wife and I first saw it in theaters we didn't quite know what to expect. It turned out to be a very engaging film with lots and lots of humor strewn into it. After seeing it I knew it would be worth watching again at home. I originally picked up the standard blu-ray, theatrical version and enjoyed watching it a couple times then. Then I recently decided to pick up the UHD version and am certainly glad that I did. This movie looks appreciably better in 4K/HDR with wide color gamut. Resolution, despite being a 2K DI is noticeably sharper and cleaner. Long distant shots of Mars surface look crisp. Colors also have a more natural hue to them, and on occasion look punchier than they do on the standard blu-ray. Low light detail is also increased while retaining inky blacks. Overall a nice upgrade. The extended version adds 10 minutes and there were a few noticeably extended scenes, I don't feel it added all too much value to the film; it didn't hurt it either though.

I bought this movie to play on my Xbox One S, which features a 4K DVD player. Which, of course, is hooked up to my 4K TV. Using this setup, the visual quality of this movie really cannot be described; it was that "OMG" impressive. However, the price of 4K DVD movies will likely prevent me from buying anymore 4K movies, at least until the price comes down considerably. So, would I recommend this to a friend? No, because 30 bucks is way, way too much to pay for a DVD movie. Having said that, if you can rent a 4k movie AND have an Xbox one S AND a 4k TV, do it!

So, this is a great example of a superb movie with superb 4k content, HDR effects, and Dolby Atmos sound. All I can say is that I have watched this movie about 6 times now just to adore the quality of the video - yes, I am a nerd. Video is crisp and clean AND sharp. Sound is top-notch. The movie drama itself keeps you wanting more, even though you would think it should be slow, because of a lone guy on Mars. All I can say is GET IT. Pay the money for the 4k version, enjoy the beautiful HDR content, and be immersed in the Dolby Atmost or DTS:X sound field.

Ridley scott is really great. This movie looks amazing and has a good story

No, seriously, buy this movie and bring it home. I saw this in the theater in 3D, as well as digital... when it came out on 4K I had to get it. Everything just POPS. Incredible detail, special effects, and a believable performance by all involved. I've seen it about a dozen times now, and it still doesn't get old. The addition of the extended versions helps give some back story to a couple areas in the film. While not necessary, it helps explain some things so it's a nice addition. Highly recommend this movie. :)

Really solid modern Sci-Fi flick. Matt Damon plays the role fantastically.

For a thorough synopsis of the movie plot. etc., head out to IMDB. If you like this movie, the extended edition adds over 10 minutes of material. Some of the material is only seconds long, but, for example, make conversations more clear, and work to round out the overall experience. The UHD version is clear, and can bring a theatre experience into your home.

Another great space movie to watch in 4K, honestly I went on Reddit to see what the forum recommends to watch on your LG OLED C8. So I ended getting this movie and to be honest it was well worth getting. It's a great movie with a plot and on top of that the picture is sharp making it feel as if you are in the movie. 4K is the pretty awesome, I did it for the experience. So all depends what your in to.

This is a great imaginative film about what it might be like for an astronaut to be stranded on Mars. However, it will probably be several years before we really know how realistic it was. But in the meantime, it's a great performance by Matt Damon. And, it's a stunning experience in 4K! It's like watching the action through a window...you are tempted to reach through the window and touch him or the Rover or the solar panels or his potato plants! It's as close as we can get to being in the film while it was shooting!
