How does one live a full year on Mars?!!

Ridley Scott's latest movie is another sci-fi movie, only this one is a lot more light-hearted than others. This is a good thing. The Martian could be described as a mixture between Cast Away and Apollo 13. Mark Watney gets stranded on Mars and has to not only find a way to survive, but figure out how to communicate with NASA. Usually this would be tragic, but the movie is surprisingly really funny, as Matt Damon pulls off a great performance as this guy. The other cast does really good too, such as Jeff Daniels, Chiwetel Eijofor and others. Even though some of the movie felt pretty slow, and the movie could've been a little bit shorter, it really gives you a connection with Mark Watney. You feel that Mars is a place that you would like to visit, but at the same time, run away from. It's interesting, funny, and engaging. A must-see movie.
