That’s really it for the “review” part of the review, but I’d like to point out the bit of problematic casting here. Weir’s book has a reasonably diverse cast, although that was largely for identification purposes.
Movie Review: The Martian
One-sentence summary: The Martian is a shipwreck story set on Mars, with the twist that we also see NASA watching the survivor and figuring out what they can do. Does that sound good? Okay, you should read the book.
Oh, this is supposed to be a movie review?
