This is basically a modern version of Apollo 13 for a broader audience

Rating: 7/10 (12 October 2015)

The setup is a little bit different (stranded on mars instead of drifting in space) but the plot is basically the same. Staying productive / positive facing fearful odds. Matt D. character seems to be partly based on Professor Randy Pausch (The last lecture - google it!). His jokes, his almost naive stay positive attitude and the few scenes where you can see his fear overcoming him, make him somewhat boring to me, but this a personal taste thing. This movie has nothing you haven't seen before, but it is a nice blend of working concepts. You will forget this movie in a few month or even a few weeks, but you will enjoy watching this movie never the less.
