Ridley Scott's best work as a director since Gladiator FIFTEEN years ago and features one of Matt Damon's absolutely finest performances as stranded astronaut Mark Watney who's stuck on Mars (yes the red planet Mars) by himself during a mission gone wrong. All Watney has is his wits and his will to survive and endure for as long as humanly and scientifically possible. The best aspects of this film are the cast, the scenery, the humor, and perhaps most importantly how Scott tells the story. Let's be honest, on paper and even based off the trailers it looked just like basically Castaway but this time in space. I tell you what, this is far better than Castaway. Funnier too. Instead of having Matt Damon feeling sorry for himself or his colleagues feeling bad about leaving him behind, they both work to save his life by any means possible. The Martian is one of 2015's best movies.
