  Primate is a gory and tense horror film with the fun concept of a Pet Chimpanzee going crazy because it has rabies. The use of an actor with a practical costume for the Chimpanzee does massive wonders for the film. The costume is incredible and the kills are very brutal! What really brings this film down is the stupidity of the characters. They will not have one person keep their eye on the Chimpanzee or sometimes just stand around instead of HELPING or RUNNING AWAY! It can be ridiculously frustrating to watch and to a point where you just sort of root for them to die. Nonetheless, a decent 90-minute film that doesn’t overstay its welcome!

  Even when rewatching this film, I had an absolute blast! The Martian is one of the most phenomenal films to come from Ridley Scott. The writing is exception, the acting is great, the visuals are stunning, the music score is great, the science is easily digestible and the characters are all very distinct despite being over a dozen characters. You root for Matt Damon’s character, Mark Watney, to survive. You root for the science team to create the plan to get him home. I enjoyed the science and I enjoyed how it was a collaborative effort from all the characters. Easily one of the best sci-fi films in modern cinema!
