Oh, me as well (liking Prometheus). Look at my post. Not beating on Prometheus one iota. We are on the same page.
Watched Prometheus probably five times, scrounged DVD extra treats, hours of youtube critiques ad nauseam and web write-ups. Waiting for P2 anxiously.
That said, The Martian is very satisfying and we are well entertained. He (they) did a great job
Scott's directing skills are extraordinary. Top five of all time? He is in the small cluster lagging Kubrick. My take. Clearly debatable. Saving Private Ryan (SS) has to be one the best movies of all time.
You know what the difference is between the movies? I am not seeking an opportunity to watch The Martian again.
