Ridley reaffirms that science and Duck Tape are the only things needed to get past anything the universe may throw at you.
Damon plays a space botanist who is also half DaVinci and half Newton. He sciences the shit out of his plight with great aplomb and much appreciated humor. Yep, there is a LOT of humor in this film--not the rubber chicken or squirting lapel flower kind but enough to keep a smile on your face the majority of the time.
The supporting cast is top flight with an international flair. Benedict Wong and the Chinese space agency join the party to help bring in the victory. Casting was shrewdly done to make this an international block-burster and that it will be.
The real star of the film is science with a strong assist from Duck Tape and some feces. It is an interstellar McGyver film that is compelling in itself. The overlay of drama merely holds together the human story. One could say Damon was the "star" but not really. You have a very well acted ensemble cast both in space and on Earth plus Duck Tape.
The CGI is wonderful and I will have to search how they did the weightlessness inside the Aries space ship. To me, all "space" films tend to be the same. High tech sets, space suits, and zero gravity with a smattering of real plot. This has all of that but more. A man who wants to fight for his life propped up by his wits and Duck Tape.
Everyone will be going to see this. It is not a work of art but a very awesome entertainment. It is not a vapid venture like Bullock in space. It is a showcase for human spirit, determination, science, and D.....
Go see or be a pillar of salt.
