When astronauts blast off from the planet Mars, they leave behind Mark Watney (Matt Damon), presumed dead after a fierce storm. With only a meager amount of supplies, the stranded visitor must utilize his wits and spirit to find a way to survive on the hostile planet. Meanwhile, back on Earth, members of NASA and a team of international scientists work tirelessly to bring him home, while his crew mates hatch their own plan for a daring rescue mission.
One of my favorite movies this year, it is funny, inventive, scary at time, definitely nerdy, and Matt Damon whom I am not a fan of is quite the guy for the situation. The sort of non-science-fiction feel of the entire movie, very grounded, very methodical in the steps it takes to make the story be reel is original, and for once, a mega-drama movie plot such as "we left him for dead in a desolated planet" turns out to be a comedy, and most interestingly, it winded up at the Oscars, which is not big on comedy in general. I would love to see it get an award...
