Release: November 25th, 2015
I want to love this, I really do. I’m a huge sci-fi fan, the rescue mission looks awesome, I’ll be rooting for survival, I’m pretty much already on board. But I have concerns. First, Ridley Scott isn’t really hitting bullseyes right now. Exodus was crappy, Robin Hood was terrible, and I might be the only person on Earth who liked Prometheus. Secondly, how is this not an almost exact copy of Interstellar, minus the quantum physics? Damon & Chastain are back, the rescue missions seem similar, and there’s an older white guy back home who might know more than he’s letting on. I’ll see the movie regardless, but I have my doubts.
