Matt Damon Shines in Ridley Scott's 'The Martian' - The Atlantic: "The Martian succeeds because everyone involved does his or her job, and does it superbly. There are no tedious backstories, no leaps of rampant illogic, no poorly cast performances, no tacked-on romantic subplots, no extended narrative lulls. The film is a profound testament to the rare—and underrated—virtue of simply not screwing anything up.
