Ridley Scott has made one of his most successful films to date with the Martian, based on the novel by Andy Weir and starring Matt Damon. The story follows Mark Watney (Damon) who is left on Mars during a dust storm and evacuation. With only 30 days of supplies and the possibility of rescue 400+ days away how does one survive?
Finally a horror movie for the sophisticated viewer. One who is not only shocked by jump scares. It Follows, much like the best horror movies that have preceded it, works as an allegory. In this case as an STD. What follows is an overwhelming sense of dread that few movies before provide.
Star Trek into Darkness is the sequel to 2009's Star Trek, if you have seen the first then you know that this isn't your parents Star Trek. Much like the first movie, the characters are all familiar and in some cases iconic and they don't act exactly like we've seen them before. Recommended.
