NASA came out with an idea to tell us how space travel is and what we can really do exploring the great sea of stars. Otherwise its some smart ass director who came out with a brilliant idea just before the real Mars vision is about to come real. anyway who cares, they made a movie which was fantastic and I have to admit it was a pretty good movie.
The Martian is about a space mission to Mars of 6 crews, now they encounter an abrupt storm disturbance on Mars so they have to evacuate, unfortunate for our protagonist he was struck by a satellite pole (how vague) in the storm and was presume dead.
The funny thing is that he didn’t stay dead but somehow was alive and this began his long struggle for survival in a hostile environment for more than 400 SOL as they termed it. He survived by going potatoes on Mars in an artificial environment which he created being a botanist as you can imagine. He survived by artificial air generators and pressure suites to enable him move around his immediate surroundings.
I have to admit the drama watching how someone struggles to survive against all odds, shows how vigorous we can become once faced with life and death situations. anyway our protagonist being Matt Damon, has been acting a lot of sic-fi movies since 2013 and this has got me thinking is there a bigger movie behind all this! Nevertheless the movie shows how united human can become once faced with a problem no one can solve. The movie for me would be a 9 out of 10. Its nice and filled with passion for science.
