Review of The Martian


This Sunday, I went with my wife and friends to watch 'The Martian' with an ensemble cast led by Matt Damon. This film made by Ridley Scott based on the novel by Andy Weir was amazing!

I didn't really know what to expect while going in. Though I love sci-fi, you just don't know what to expect at times and honestly I had only seen the trailer a few days before I watched the film.

But boy this movie rocks! So, I am not going to give away any spoilers except that it is a movie about an astronaut who is thought to have died on Mars and is left there by his fellow crew members. You guessed it - he wasn't dead.

Now how it must feel to be the only human being on an entire planet is something you will experience when you watch this movie. Matt Damon has done a very commendable job!

There are so many moments in this film that remind us that you can never say die and you have to just keep trying your best to survive. No matter what the odds.
