Yea my wife and i were talking about the Dust storm, its a high stakes moment, but the result is that he just drives away from it. So yea not great cinema, there's definitely science stuff that wouldn't be great for the movie, but the impact of getting to the MAV was a huge accomplishment in and of itself. You're right though, not great cinema.
Yea I get that, I just felt like it the ending was hokey, but again i'm just nitpicking
