Fine acting, nice CGI, good use of humor. Damon is an accomplished actor, but a little bland. I know astronauts are supposed to be cool and controlled, but I couldn't help thinking someone like Willis or Ford, even subdued, in their prime would have made the film much more riveting, and even funnier.
With all these brilliant Blacks in movies, along with the societal taboo of discussing the scientific evidence of major average IQ differences of different populations, no wonder so many minorities think their more limited group accomplishments in the real world are the result of a giant conspiracy of 'White Privilege.'
Of course I do not wish to see females or minorities portrayed negatively, but the fact that things are always skewed in this predictably propagandistic direction is what is boringly comically pathetic.

Favorite touch: The Black genius kid who saves the day, towards the end of his presentation to NASA-JPL, using the junior JPL administrator's forehead to click off his ballpoint pen. Strangely the administrator was a woman, but White, so must have gotten clicked for her 'White Privilege.'
Could go on forever, but how about the last scene, showing the astronaut training class, with one astronaut cadet sitting in the audience, very dark and seemingly brooding in the shadows under his black baseball cap, as if he had just been recruited for the next Mars mission, merrily plucked straight out of the latest Black Lives Matter riot.
Hollywood, of course Tribe-owned, keeps propping up a reality that does not exist, and keeps trying to teach European Americans not to 'hate,' which really isn't America's problem.
In any case, this film is definitely entertaining and well worth watching.
