Customer Ratings & Reviews

This movie is amazing and the extended version is wonderful! I really enjoyed the extra features and my nerdling heart did too!!

The picture in 4K is absolutely stunning! And the storyline itself was actually quite good and grabbed my attention. Definitely a keeper.

Though the plot is essentially the same and the visuals are stunning the movie only lacks in some areas that those who have read the book or listened to the audio presentation will find annoying. *spoilers ahead potentially* Changing Venkat Kapoors name and ethnicity to that of Vincent Kapoor is not the biggest deal. Chiwetal Ejiofor is a strong actor and really tries to feel what a man stranded on another planet feels. Though it was a bit of a stretch to feel him as Hindu which added a spiritual and if not atheistic view to his character. My biggest issue comes with Annie played by Kristen Wiig. A strong female character in the book who is willing and ABLE to play ball with government bigwigs/NASA nerds and the media but also nieve enough about actual space travel to give her some weakness was the best part of her character in the book that the film compartmentalized. She is the NASA press secretary. She delivered most if not all the bad news and fielded all the tough questions and storms. In the film she mostly stands there and interjects a few lines and facial expressions. I felt as though they picked on her in the film. From the Secret Meeting (did happen in the book) she gets her nievete to show, but then Rich pernel and Vincent use her as pen poppers and props. Her ability to tell off Teddy when Mitch subverts command and sends the manuever shows her balls in a man's environment in the book, but no where in the film is her character used well. Instead its given over to Commander Lewis played by Chastain. Who is as strong as they come. Though they take it a bit far with her having to do all the saving is a bit much. Sebastian Stans playing best freind Chris Beck is relegated to tossing some cards and doing very dangerous space walks outside the Hermes that were never in the book nor would I think approved by anyone at NASA or on the consulting team just for sheer stupidity. Its like they decided to say hey were taking all your parts, giving them to Chastain and to make up for it you can do these cool space walks. Overall its a good movie. Can't say Damon didnt mail in some of the lines he did as they felt forced and not in Whatney's dry sense of humor, but he made you feel like he was alone and there. So go save him.

I really like this movie. Matt Damon gives a great performance. Would be even better if it had Dolby Atmos but 7.1 is not bad

A great movie, made better by 4K. Excellent visuals that give you a good feeling of being on Mars (I admit I am guessing about that).

One of the movies you must watch, it will get you in there, from the beginning of the story to the end. Awesome work of Matt Damon.

Extended cut doesnt necessarily benefit the movie but still nice to see some of the extra material. Average steelbook art.

Entertaining storyline, but the filming and color on a 4k HDR set is just breathtaking. It's worth watching just for that.

This book was great, and watching at home it was even better. Really enjoyed Matt Damon in the role. Must have for space nuts.

Great movie, ordered this online picked it up, no wait, no issues. Quick and easy, got this on sale, it also has digital copy as well.

We love this movie! It has great cinematic appeal! This is one that is definitely worth watching on a big screen if you can!

I love this movie. I have always been afraid of being stranded anywhere but in mar?? Never thought some could survice like that

Awesome movie with great special effects, picture and audio. Well worth the purchase with the Black Friday sales price.

Such a good film. It's kinda realistic in the form that its possible to go to Mars and just all the troubles. It's a must see movie.

I find myself watching this multiple times and now the 4K copy is wonderful especially because it was on sale at Best Buy

I have been having this and wanted to get a copy for my nephew. The Black Friday sale offered it at an attractive price.

Really enjoyed this movie when saw it in theaters. Entertaining and I'm always into anything that has to do with space.

I had been meaning to watch this for the longest time and found the 4K version during a sale so I had to snag it! Glad I did!

I enjoyed the movie at the Cinema, but watching the Blu-Ray version on my new 4K Tv and new sound bar was just awesome...

Stunning effects, clear picture, and fantastic acting. Very strong story line, one of my favorite space/mars type movies.
