The Martian is an extravehicular manned mission, fueled & driven by the sanguine attitude of Matt Damon as Mark Watney. All in all, this film is a fun science fair. And what's a better way to enjoy it without hands-on practical applications… on Mars?
However, this adaptation would have been more honest with the absence of a fake body transformation dupe & the unconvincing reasons behind the easy abandonment of protagonist on an alien planet.
Help is only 140 million miles away from Mark. An enlivening cinematic adventure as such is only a theatre away from you.
