A great Sci-Fi movie.

Rating: 9/10 (9 July 2016)

The Martian successfully combines two very different but vital elements of human nature, indispensable for our own survival: the constant need for exploration and science evolution on one hand, and the simple act of planting and growing food, in the primordial sense of the word, on the other. The protagonist (Matt Damon) takes the role of a stranded astronaut on Mars, who is put in a difficult, contrasting situation: his technical training before the mission and his ability and knowledge to provide sustenance for himself, through McGyver-ing his way out of difficult situations. I find The Martian a very good movie overall, full of action as well as good, uplifting humor. A future classic movie, in my opinion. 9/10.
