The Martian

Mark Watney (Matt Damon) is an astronaut who gets stranded on Mars during a storm, where he struggles to survive on one month of food. Mark cannibalizes everything he can, carefully apportions his rations in a claustrophobic, dire and lonely situation. Back on Earth it is assumed Mark is dead until a sharp-eyed NASA technician notices something amiss but is it worth the high risk of going back just for one man?

“Ridley Scott has rewritten the rules of sci-fi multiple times over his half-century career, but this time, the dystopian maestro sees hope in our stars.” –Peter Debruge –Chief International Film Critic -Variety

“Constantly absorbing rather than outright exciting, this major autumn Fox release should generate muscular business worldwide.” -Todd McCarthy –The Hollywood Reporter
