The only I will ever shout in support!
The Martian, released in 2015, yet do I only knew of its existence this year, is a movie about a space endeavor—one that ended up being a disaster. Imagine having to walk in a storm on a planet you only set foot on the very first time, and what ended your landing was a storm so massive it blew you off enough that your teammates assumed you were already dead—that is where we’ll find the story of this movie.
Watney, played by Matt Damon, the astronaut left behind by his crew of five other astronauts, faced a deep dilemma about how he could survive alone on the planet Mars. Luckily, Watney was a botanist and a gumptious one at that—he discovered what others couldn't because he believed that it was possible. While surviving and planning his days alone, the administration where he worked after finding out that he’s still alive, carefully and strategically planned whatever’s going to give and how they were going to receive to save Watney.
is what the people shouted! And so they made it happen—it may not be a perfect plan; it curved and exploded, hope was shattered, and almost, almost they were about to give up. Yet when one is truly loved, deserving, uncorrupt, and cared for, whether they are just alone and would cause a fortune, a hero must be brought home.
The movie was intense enough that it made one jump out of their seat, specifically during the climax, wherein frustration and hope crossed paths amidst the chaos of ticking time. The Martian’s cinematography, setting, characters, and even the duration matched perfectly, so that one would find it hard to throw tomatoes.
Still, a movie is a movie, and most of the time, the only way to enjoy it is to neglect whatever’s overlooked. The Martian violated a lot of scientific things and laws, and sometimes you’ll end up having to laugh at what was said. Moreover, the psychological effect on Watney was only somewhat portrayed, and the movie had it shallow and left it to be a wonder.
Despite its release in 2015, The Martian looks really good—there’s no such thing as late or whatever for a movie, anyway. A gripping story about space adventure, true heroism, and a governing body that didn't rely on confidential funds. Truly, the only successful, uncorrupt mission worth defending.
