Based on the eponymous work of Andy Weir, “Lost on Mars” (The Martian – 2015) is one of the main premieres this Thursday, 01, and has everything to please sci-fi fans and, above all, Ridley Scott, dedicated director, responsible for classics like “Alien – The eighth passenger” (Alien – 1979) and “Blade Runner, The Hunter of Androids “(Blade Runner – 1982). The SRZD already checked and was surprised by the result.

Starring Matt Damon (Mark Watney), the film shows an American team that is forced to abort an important mission to Mars when a strong storm sweeping the Red Planet. But along the way between the station and the ship, Watney is hit by a metal casting and presumed dead for the rest of the team led by Melissa Lewis (Jessica Chastain), who decides to return to Earth, leaving him behind. After regaining consciousness, Watney need to find means of survival in an inhospitable planet, using their knowledge of botany, while waiting for the daring rescue

a well-structured script, written by Drew Goddard, “Lost on Mars” is an interesting film and a few moments of tension that develops unhurriedly to a better understanding of the viewer, with intelligent humor that gives lightness to production through various references to pop culture, always betting on the smallest details of the plot.

Together with the good script and Scott’s competent direction is the incredible performance of the entire cast, especially Damon, Chastain, Chiwetel Ejiofor (Vincent Kapoor) and Sean Bean (Mitch Henderson). The actors demonstrate chemistry to spare and can assimilate the characteristics of their respective characters in a very natural way, which helps to provide the maximum possible truth to this plot that, like so many others of its kind, contains some rather absurd facts but work very well on the big screen -. I can not tell you what to avoid spoilers

” Lost on Mars “remains the standard of technical quality expected by any Scott film and in this sense, it is a real treat. With excellent sound effects, graphics, a beautiful photograph and leaving very professional production design in Hollywood with envy, the film has real chances to contest the technical categories in the next awards season.

Finally, ” Lost on Mars “is a film produced with great care and ensuring good times in the exhibition hall. This return of Ridley Scott to space works almost like a redemption after the weak “Prometheus” (Idem – 2012), franchise prequel “Alien”, whose first sequence won the title of “Alien: Paradise Lost” (Idem – 2017).
