[To Far Away Times]

Sicario was alright.

Based Roger Deakins did the cinematography so that of course is excellent, but the rest of it is just kinda okay.

 

[overcast]

Probably both. With Jobs the week after its a strong few weeks at movie theaters.

Also, Shaun the Sheep is showing at my cheap theater.

 

[Troy]

Like the vast majority of everyone else, I'll choose The Martian and watch Sicario if it ever shows up on Netflix.

Rifftrax is doing The Miami Connection Thursday. There is your choice right there....

Oh shit. This is wonderful. I've yet to see the film.

I should see this.

 

[Lyonaz]

Well the Martian is this week in the Netherlands and Sicario next week so easy choice.

Looking forward to Sicario the most though, because I'm an Emily Blunt fanboy.

 

[jerry113]

Sicario looks good but it looks like a depressing subject matter to watch, and I'm in the mood for something uplifting and optimistic - so I'll watch The Martian for now.

 

[GasProblem]

Just came back from Sicario. One scene made everyone in the room gasp, that's all I'll say. Really good movie.

Definitely not uplifting or happy though. Great action scenes, really tense.

 

[number11]

Macbeth also comes out this Friday (UK). This week is insane.

 

[Captain.Falafel]

Both!

 

[tearsintherain]

Just came back from The Martian, if you are in STEM i'd really recommend it awesome movie that really spoke to my inner nerd engineer.

 

[shira]

I don't even know what the martian is

It's like Cast Away except Damon sciences the shit out of it

 

[Akahige]

I'd say that The Martian is likely going to be in theaters longer than Sicario, so Sicario then The Martian at a later date.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Do both

Can't wait for the DVD releases too

 

[d00d3n]

Sicario is the better movie imo (the scene when the convoy of federal agents travel into Juarez is destined to become a classic, just perfect suspense through the whole thing), but the Martian may be more entertaining if you like lighthearted optimistic sci-fi.

 

[The Technomancer]

I'm doing The Martian tonight because that was what more people were onboard with but I'm going to try and catch Sicario before it leaves theaters

 

[Toothless]

Seeing Sicario tomorrow and The Martian on Sunday. It'll be a great weekend.

 

[zychi]

Martian's book was really good.

Gonna wait for both ondemand tho. $15+ movie tickets arent worth it anymore. May as well wait and buy the bluray at that price

Just go to a matinee. I'm seeing them both for a combined $13 this weekend. Would be $10 if The Martian was showing in 2D

 

[Damerman]

not interested in the Martian...

Sicario caught my eye since the first trailer.

 

[beato_angelico]

Sicario is really really good. Not so interested in The Martian.

 

[More_Badass]

Sicario is the better movie imo (the scene when the convoy of federal agents travel into Juarez is destined to become a classic, just perfect suspense through the whole thing), but the Martian may be more entertaining if you like lighthearted optimistic sci-fi.

Seriously the tension and build-up in that scene was just masterfully done

 

[beato_angelico]

Watch Martian in the theater.

Rent Sicario.

I'm a firm believer in only watching loud, action movies in theaters and renting everything else. Because, $15.

Like the vast majority of everyone else, I'll choose The Martian and watch Sicario if it ever shows up on Netflix.

what

 

[d00d3n]

Seriously the tension and build-up in that scene was just masterfully done

Yeah, it was exceptional. Possibly the "suspense scene" of all time for me.

 

[Persona7]

The martian doesn't interest me at all.

 

[bounchfx]

saw the martian last night and it was fucking beautiful. Great movie, one of the few I actually felt watching in 3d enhanced it a ton, really glad I opted for it.

but I guess now I gotta see some sicario tonight! hell yeah, horray for good movies!

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

Sicario if you have to choose

I think we all know what happens in the Martian

 

[FreshCakes]

Sicario is the better movie imo (the scene when the convoy of federal agents travel into Juarez is destined to become a classic, just perfect suspense through the whole thing), but the Martian may be more entertaining if you like lighthearted optimistic sci-fi.

One of the best scenes in the movie. Like a virus entering the bloodstream.

 

[emrober5]

I'm in the same position OP. I'm choosing Sicario.

Heard Emily Blunt on Stern and she just got me too hyped. Although I most certainly will see Martian as well, maybe next week.

 

[Cymbal Head]

I was literally in the middle of having this discussion with my wife when I saw this thread.

We might try to get to both (2 movies in one weekend is a rare occurrence for us), but the showtime for Sicario is much more convenient for us, so Sicario it is.

Your praise better be legit, GAF.
