Matt Damon, who plays astronaut, Mark Watney, is on Mars
with his team when a fierce storm comes up.
As they try to make it back to the spacecraft – Mark is hit with flying
debris and is sent spiraling backwards in the darkness of the storm. To the other astronauts, it seemed like he is
dead and they must make a decision to stay and possibly not survive the storm
or leave. They choose to leave. As the next day dawns – Mark isn’t dead but
finds himself alone. With thier base
camp with some supplies left – he must figure out how to survive with little
food and water till the next craft comes to Mars – in four years! From there the movie gets very engaging! There’s a lot of storytelling that goes on as
we see him trying to grow potatoes with his own poop, make water, and figure
out how to contact NASA. He does
eventually make contact and a rescue mission is set into motion. But not everything goes as planned and at
times you have to stretch your imagination to the impossible. But it doesn’t matter – you are hooked from
the beginning of the movie and you stay on the journey till all the popcorn is
gone and you know how Mark’s journey ends.
