Storyline:
During a manned mission to Mars, Astronaut Mark
Watney is presumed dead after a fierce storm and left behind by his crew. But
Watney has survived and finds himself stranded and alone on the hostile planet.
With only meager supplies, he must draw upon his ingenuity, wit and spirit to
subsist and find a way to signal to Earth that he is alive. Millions of miles
away, NASA and a team of international scientists work tirelessly to bring
"the Martian" home, while his crewmates concurrently plot a daring,
if not impossible, rescue mission. As these stories of incredible bravery
unfold, the world comes together to root for Watney's safe return.
Movie Reviews:
hrilling movie
8 November 2015 | by Andrew Marshall (United
Kingdom) See all my reviews
There are many movies where you never really engage
with any of the characters. That certainly isn't the case with The Martian
where there was clearly a lot of thought put into the script. I never really
pay too much attention to scriptwriters, but Drew Goddard can certainly be praised
for his work on the Martian. Looks like he's mostly been involved in writing
for TV series (Buffy, Lost) in the past, so hopefully he'll be doing more
feature films in the future.
Anyway The Martian tells the tale of Mark Watney
(Matt Damon) who is presumed dead on Mars when the rest of the crew head back
for Earth. It's not giving too much away to say that isn't the case, but how's
he going to survive and what's going to happen.
It certainly reminded me very much of Apollo 13
in places and that's a pretty good movie to be compared with. Definitely not to
be missed and one of the best movies of 2015.
