Great film

Rating: 8/10 (19 January 2016)

This film is about a man who is on a space mission and there is some debris going on and around he gets hit and the crew leave him behind thinking he is dead. Matt Damon plays the lead character. He then realises he has to survive four years in space before they can get back to him. He only has a year's supply of food. So as a botanist he has to use his smarts to grow food for three years. This is a really enjoyable and fun film about a man who uses his humour and smarts to get by in space. Back on earth there a real public relations issue with NASA whether they can get there man home. Matt Damon has never been better, this is probably his best performance on screen. He shows a lot of heart and humour considering the situation he is in. Jessica Chastain is also very good as one of the crew members that left him behind. The cinematography in a space is amazing to look at. Ridley Scott has done an amazing job directing this film. This is one of the best movies of Oscar season. I highly recommend it.
