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. Written by

THE MARTIAN to me I felt was a fabulous film. Upon viewing
the trailer to this film I was intrigued, but at the same time I worried they’d
muck it up by introducing aliens or some strange life force that would be
horribly cgi and ruin my experience. Truth be told they stayed away from all of
that and other corny ploys and told a story that we all can relate to, which is
personal survival and the need and the want to go home. No typically a fan of
Matt Damon, but he was good in this. I also felt a film like this needs to be
duplicated in another version of a storyline as it broke down the tools of
problem solving for the viewer in a way that I thought also stimulated the
viewers mind, which I thought was something more films need to do. So for THE
MARTIAN I give it 4 ½ stars.
