Proper adaptation of the best-selling novel

Rating: 9/10 (15 September 2016)

The Martian is an interesting adaptation of the best-selling independent novel of the same name.
It is remarkable the job they have made to get really realistic settings and beautiful photography in the movie.
Matt Damon plays pretty well the character and is able to keep the rhythm of a movie, that with a less experienced actor would have been impossible.
Furthermore the soundtrack and some of the dialogues bring a refreshing tone to a film that otherwise could have suffered from what I call "submarine-movie-syndroma", i.e. being a series of disasters one after another that just end up saturating the viewer.
