You cannot use colon after variable name in JavaScript, there should be:

let reviewText1 = [
    "The Martian could have been a sad drama file, instead it was a ",
    "hilarious file weith a little bit of dra,a added to it. The Martian is what ",
    "everybody wants from a space adventure. Ridley Scott can still make great ",
    "movies and this is one of his best."
].join()

console.log(reviewText1)
