It's pretty amazing.

When Mark Watney (Matt Damon) is hit by a satellite and presumed dead on a manned Mars mission, he has to find a way to survive on the planet and signal to earth that he is alive. I'm not a scientist so I don't know how accurate everything is, but the movie itself was really good. It almost behaves like a documentary at times as their are parts where Mark talks to the camera giving the status of his situation. We also see all the drama in Washington, DC with NASA officials trying to bring Mark back home. The acting is good. Damon is really good in the role and it's really not easy to imagine anyone else in his place. The story is great. Even though for the most part we're just seeing Damon stranded on Mars, we're emotionally invested and we want to see what happens next. I highly recommend The Martian.
