Review contains spoilers --- You have been warned. --- One of the movies I just can't stop rewatching because of how good I think it is, the movie contains facts that can excite a wide array of audience, since it tackles many categories from action to adventure to science and astrophysics, the movie has most if not many elements related to one of these categories, if you are even slightly interested in any of those subjects, I particularly recommend this movie. I loved many of the parts from this movie, while I also disliked some parts of it, which I will detail in the review below, but ultimately it is a good movie and I personally believe it can make some people go from careless about movies in general to interested, and can make interested people into a passionate, it also tackles many technical terms that can't be seen in many of the more recent movies while also offer some insights about the various topics to even students. Either way, I love the good ending the movie offers, although it raises some question, this is my review on each sections: - **Story**: 9/10 - The story is very interesting to follow, as in how Mark Watney will survive on Mars, and it is possible for it to actually happen should one day the travel to Mars is unlocked, the premise of how Mark is left on Mars is also possible although I will throw some doubts about how Mark managed to survive the night that long with a hole in his abdomen, with oxygen escaping and the pressure of space since Mars doesn't have an atmosphere last time I recall, along that the time skips makes it confusing in some sections of the movie on how and why it happens, and there seemed to be some pointless actions and scenes in the movie like some nude scenes, unfortunately it will scale down the review. - **Characters**: 10/10 - The characters and acting are great, they managed to convey the raw emotions of each character, and there seems to be a good insight on the backstory of each character even though there isn't exactly an "development", but considering most of the crew remains in space, the change and development of their personality would be catastrophic for the mission, which makes their character very static, but this is the one time it actually makes sense for them to be like that, making it a perfect score. - **Visuals**: 9.5/10 - The visuals are very cool in this movie, considering it needing to be a space movie it is always great to see a representation of the planets, besides the model they used for the space station looked incredibly good along with the model for Mars, though it is unfortunate that the visuals lose points for full back nudity, as I personally dislike it, but still it doesn't affect much the visual score due to how momentary it is. - **Audio**: 9.5/10 - The audio is crisp for the most of the movie, and the choice of song is both ironic and good, I will admit it surprised me when they began playing Star Man, as I did not expect that song of all the songs, giving it a very good score, though I would've loved to hear more of what were spoken during the last few scenes of the movie when Mark successfully managed to be rescued by the crew giving it a slightly lower score. - **Enjoyment**: 9.5/10 - I honestly have no words to describe how much I like this movie, I think it is almost perfect in it's entirety, and I very much enjoyed it. **Overall: 9.5/10** A beautiful movie, a beautiful story of a man in space, longing home and surviving with every means he can, the story of Mark Watney, The Martian.

A sudden and violent storm causes the team of the "Ares" mission to hastily abandon their camp and return to the relative safety of their orbiting spacecraft and a journey home. Giving the command to leave, their commander "Lewis" (Jessica Chastain) is informed that one of their number has been killed. Thing is, once the dust has (quite literally) settled, we discover that "Watney" (Matt Damon) is anything but. Impaled by an antenna needle he is alive and alone. Now a sort of space-bound "Robinson Crusoe" adventure ensues with "Watney" trying to ensure he repairs the damage to his body the uses his training - as a botanist - to find a way to survive. Everyone back home assumes he is dead - it is only when an eagle-eyed scientist notices that some of the equipment is moving that they try to re-establish contact. Now, with NASA Director "Teddy" (Jeff Daniels) and "Mitch" (Sean Bean) it's a race against time to cobble together a rescue plan before poor old "Watney" turns into one of his life-sustaining potatoes! I found this at it's most effective when it is just Damon using his guile to find innovative ways to survive. I can't swear to the plausibility of the science, but peppered with some pithy pieces-to-camera in a video diary style and his favourite (not) disco music Damon ensures that the film builds nicely allowing us to invest in his survival. I began to lose interest once the political melodrama kicked in, though, and but for the last exciting twenty minutes, I felt the film lost it's way as the scientific responses all just became a little too predictably convenient and oddly enough for a science fiction film, far-fetched! Some spectacular visual effects are put to great use complementing a strong, visionary and speculative, story of a man using his wits to survive and the all but 2½ hours really does fly by. It's even got a bit of ABBA too!

I feel like this science fiction movie was a stunning achievement, for at least a couple of reasons. Firstly, for much of the time it is a one man show, and that can be risky in a feature length film. It worked with acclaimed actors Tom Hanks in Cast Away, and with Robert Redford in All is Lost, but could it work with Matt Damon in a sci-fi flick? Well, I answer that question with a resounding ‘yes.’ The movie does cut away to planet Earth and the spaceship returning home without him, so it isn’t all Damon all the time. And some humor is injected here and there to offset the character’s grim situation. I liked the line where he referred to himself as the greatest biologist on the planet. As the only current resident on Mars at that time, he was also the worst biologist on the planet! Another reason this film is remarkable is because there is a lot of science here, which drives the plot as he has to solve continuous problems that arise, not with brute strength or other physical,skills, but with his analytical mind. And yet the details don’t get tedious or overly technical. Oddly enough, it is not a movie I will watch multiple times, as I have lesser robust sci-fI entries such as Super 8 or Monsters, but I plan to watch it at least one more time, just out of appreciation for the solid job that was done in adapting what much must have been a very challenging story to film and have it be both entertaining and informative, both scientific and an amazing adventure.

***Realistic account of trying to survive on Mars while awaiting rescue*** In 2035 an astronaut (Matt Damon) gets stuck on Mars after he is presumed dead and his team departs without him. When NASA eventually finds out that he’s alive & well they have to find a way to save him. But can he survive for the next couple of years until they arrive? Jeff Daniels plays the director of NASA while Jessica Chastain plays the leader of the vessel. Sean Bean, Chiwetel Ejiofor and several other notables are on hand. The only way for Ridley Scott’s "The Martian" (2015) to work is if it can convince you that Damon’s character is actually on Mars, which it does spectacularly and realistically (minus a few forced dramatics or stabs at humor here and there). If, like me, you’re fascinated by Mars or the potential of living on another planet in the real world, “The Martian” is a must. It’s reminiscent of movies like “Armegeddon” (1998), “Mission to Mars” (2000), “Gravity” (2013) and “2001: A Space Odyssey” (1968), albeit without the fantastical elements of some of these. It even brings to mind the first acts of “Planet of the Apes” (1968) and “Beneath the Planet of the Apes” (1970). The movie scores pretty well on the female front with Chastain, Mackenzie Davis, Kate Mara and Kristen Wiig. Davis looks good in tight pants. The film runs 2 hours, 24 minutes. GRADE: A-/B+

This movie is very entertaining and really imaginative. The narrative is well controlled so you don't feel bored or exhausted. The part that I like best is when the accident happened and Witney lost all his crops, the despair he had and the noisy scary sound of strong Mars winds blowing outside the base. The real loneliness. However, this movie's plot was too straight-forward as I see. Nearly every action proposed by the sorts of parties and organization was execute, taking the story forward without stagnation. But this also made everything look too artificial. In comparison, Robinson Crusoe was much more twisted.
