4 stars (Very Good) Refreshing to see a big-studio space adventure that hinges on logical problem-solving and has a sense of humour. They finally jump the shark, of course, but its hard not to root for (the very engaging) Damon anyway. Scott's best film in years. ~fairbrother

3 stars (Good Enough) OK, but the pacing is all over the place, the supporting characters mere thumbnails and the video diary device overused. For space rescue - Apollo 13. For man alone - Castaway. Sorry, but it's that simple... ~HiFi

4 stars (Very Good) Beautifully shot movie. Science mostly believable. How do those storms develop in such a thin and waterless atmosphere?. Script fleshes out characters in the book without losing original wit and intelligence. Better than average pot-boiler from Hollywood. ~Anon
