"They say once you
grow crops somewhere, you have officially colonized it.
So,
technically, I colonized Mars.
In your face, Neil Armstrong." -
Mark Watney
Why watch this? An
impressive one-man show, akin to
Cast Away (2000).
Plot Summary:
After a fierce dust storm on Mars, astronaut Mark Watney is
presumed dead and left behind by his crew. However, Watney
survives and must utilize his scientific ingenuity and wit to
stay alive with meager supplies on the hostile planet.
Meanwhile, NASA and his crewmates embark on a challenging and
daring mission to rescue him against all odds.

Dad's Preview:
Stranded. Not on an island. Or in the desert - both of which give
you a remote chance of discovery by sheer dumb luck. Here, Matt
Damon is stranded on the red planet Mars. Help will take months to
arrive, if at all. This film
is a scientific wonder to experience. The lone crafty, determined astronaut must do everything he
can, utilize every idea he can muster, just to create inventions to
prolong his existence. Only then can he even entertain finding a way to get back
to Earth. This is hard sci-fi at its best. |
