The Martian Review

RIDLEY SCOTT has made some very good movies: "Blade Runner", "Alien", "Thelma and Louise", "Gladiator". But his last ones were lackluster failures, like "Prometheus" and, most especially, his take on Moses, "Exodus: Gods and Kings". He's now back with a vengeance in "The Martian", which has all the makings of both an artistic and commercial success. Matt Damon in the title role gives such a solid performance that it will be a crime if he'd not get an Oscar nomination.

The movie is based on a best-seller that was originally self-published by its author, Andy Weir, online. It will remind you of other outer space films like "Apollo 13" and "Gravity", and even Tom Hanks’ "Castaway". When the movie opens, the astronauts of NASA's Ares III mission are already on planet Mars, at work collecting samples. They were notified by NASA that a big storm is coming and they should leave immediately.

Mark Watney (Matt) , is hit by debris and goes missing. Commander Melissa Lewis (Jessica Chastain) tried to look for him but he's nowhere to be found and they soon have to fly way. He's presumed to have died they have no choice but to leave him behind.

But it turns out that Matt is alive. He has a nasty wound on his tummy which he stitches up himself. A fighter, he just refuses to give up and die on the red planet. The scenes that follow make it a one-man show for Matt as he tries his best to survive on his own. Since he is also a botanist, he tries to grow his own potatoes using human waste and he repairs everything around him so he can journey across the planet and also contact NASA's mission control.

After a day news spread in Korean websites, YG Entertainment finally reveals the identity of the woman and why they didn’t respond immediately. YG tells StarNews about the women he partied with at the club, “It was during an after-party and he (Seungri) was with his acquaintances.”

They stated that after Big Bang’s concert in Taiwan, Seungri was invited by some acquaintances for an after-party celebration and it’s not of a big deal. Apparently, YG is implying that the woman Seungri was spotted holding hands with is a close acquaintance.
