Customer Ratings & Reviews

The movie is quite enjoyable although lacks an engaging storyline,

This is a truly great movie. Any time it is on, I get sucked in. Every cast member is on point. In a real world that keeps proving that we can't seem to help but continue to get in our own way, there is a message of hope here that really hits home. Very few actors can hold the screen acting by themselves, but Damon is so insanely compelling and likable here that I can't imagine anyone else in the role. Extra shout out to Donald Glover in a small but scene-stealing turn that has made me a fan for life.

I do not know how we watched movies before 4K, and while there are several where HD really does not make a difference, this is one that deserves the treatment. The experience is even better than it was in the movie theater, with sharper image, bolder color, and even if the few extra minutes of footage do not add significantly to the story - the story brilliant. I admit that I still hold the book in higher regard, few movies can touch this one for the overall reality.

Great story with Matt Damon in top form. Production values are excellent.

That is right a farmer in Mars, he grows food with his poop, and his friends poop after getting into travel for lollygagging when it was time to leave. It is like when you are not ready to go and you are threatened with the person leaving you and then they leave, except this happened in MARS, ok not exactly like that, this isn't home alone in Mars, but it should be. It is a good movie, watch it.

To start off, this movie looks phenomenal in general for the movie alone. The setting is great, and the overall movie works great as a standalone. When it comes to the 4k aspect of this movie, the colors really come out at you in a way that even blu-ray quality doesn't. Sure, the lines start to blur with the new addition of 4k. One can really see the difference if they walk up to the screen to see how close the pixel density really is. A great extended movie combined with the 4k package!

Special effects of the movie are good. Looks stunning in 4k

Great movie and I would highly recommend. I would buy it again.

Very good movie. Entertaing. Great special effects

This was great movie with great performances throughout

I liked "The Martian". It was a great movie and an even better book. Unlike a lot of 'Extended" editions, the additional 10 min adds a lot to the story, especially if you have read the book. But the real treat was moving from a standard Blu-ray to UHD Blu-ray. On a movie of this scale, with vast panoramas, the higher resolution and increased dynamic range really add to the experience, especially on a larger screen.

When astronauts blast off from the planet Mars, they leave behind Mark Watney (Matt Damon), presumed dead after a fierce storm. With only a meager amount of supplies, the stranded visitor must utilize his wits and spirit to find a way to survive on the hostile planet. Meanwhile, back on Earth, members of NASA and a team of international scientists work tirelessly to bring him home, while his crew mates hatch their own plan for a daring rescue mission.

The 4K is a very noticeable polish to the picture.

In my opinion, one of the best movies of all time, with man in a seemingly hopeless situation. But man prevails through his wits, cleverness and friends back home. Also, pretty scientifically accurate. Even better, it was on sale and Best Buy sent me a $5 coupon. All this for $9.99!

I had already bought the blue ray version of this and loved that, then for Xmas bought myself a new 4K DVD player and bought this too. I already include this film as one of my all time favorites, and this 4K version is even better. Also, it includes an "extended version", which adds maybe 4 minutes to the film but does add a little more story, which is nice. It is worth the upgrade to 4K for this one.

I bought this movie when I bought my new 65" Samsung TV. The movie looked amazing on the new TV and was a good movie to boot. There are a few parts where the language is a bit salty for kids, but wish some monitoring, my 7, 9 and 13 year olds all loved the movie. We have watched it three times already. I also use it to demo the TV when any of my friends come over......They leave a bit green with envy. :)

This is an excellent movie. I had seen it when it first came out. I read a review of the best DVDs out there in the 4K format and this was one of the top choices, so I bought this to test out a new TV. It really does look great in 4K. Some of the movie scenes are dark and gritty, but it is much better watching this with the incredible detail available in 4K with HDR. Matt Damon was perfect for this role!

With the release of the "Extended Edition", this fine film got even better. Now, in 4K UHD, it has gotten better still! The HDR (High Dynamic Range) makes the martian landscapes "pop" like never before. From the sand that you feel like you can almost reach out and touch, to the brilliance of lighting highlights glinting off helmets, to the glow of displays and control panels, this experience is intoxicating. If you love this film (and you have a 4K TV capable of displaying the disc's HDR in all it's glory) this 4K bluray is a disc you will REALLY love viewing! The 4K "Extended Edition" also includes the theatrical edition in 4K with HDR and allows you to select which version you prefer to watch.

"The Martian" did its homework. There is alot of realism in the film. Politics, humor, and ingenuity are thwon into the mix so the Viewer does not have to suspend their snese of disbelief as one does for other sci fi movies. Bonus featres are well done.

I think the key here is to watch it after Interstellar because Matt Damon goes from space-defeated rat to a can-do-it-in-space MacGyver protagonist. The audio is absolutely awesome on this disc. Cannot understate how good it is. The visuals with HDR blow away any steamed version.
