Isolation even greater than what COVID can cause

Rating: 8/10 (16 April 2020)

This is a space nerd's movie. This is a problem solver's movie. When you are in space you don't get emotional. You figure out what the problems are and you solve them one at a time. If you solve enough problems, then you get to come home alive. The Martian does a great job of displaying the loneliness of the situation its protagonist is in. I really appreciated that it doesn't keep you constantly worried about what the next unexpected disaster would be. It is an easy ride that introduces challenges just as swiftly as our characters solve them. The theme of isolation fit nicely into this quarantine lifestyle we are living.
