Director : Ridley Scott
Running Time : 142 mins
After being presumed dead by his crew on a manned mission to Mars, astronaut Mark Watney (Damon) is forced to fend for himself and attempt to survive on his own, assuming that everyone thinks he is dead, but when those in charge discover he is still alive they are faced with a race against time to rescue him before he runs out of food, oxygen, or both.
Although this doesn’t strictly speaking stick to the storyline of the novel, and misses out on large chunks of the action, you have to accept that for a movie to do justice to the novel it would have to be incredibly long. This movie, probably thanks to the efforts of Ridley Scott, manages to do a reasonable job of adapting the material, and it is an interesting watch, just not quite as fun as the book. Damon does his best, but this was always going to be a difficult novel to adapt.
