Director Ridley Scott’s latest sci-fi epic, The Martian, is the latest book-to-movie adaptation to be brought to the big screen. Written by Drew Goddard and boasting a superstar cast, The Martian is one of the best films of the year to date.
Matt Damon plays Mark Watney, the stranded astronaut that fights all odds to survive on the desolate planet of Mars. With only a few months of food and water from rations, NASA tries to find a way to rescue Watney while he employs his knowledge of botany to grow food. With a limited supply of rations, he must use his ingenuity and training to keep himself fed for as many sols (days on Mars) as possible.
