Not succumbing to fate

Ok, deal! From now on Ridley Scott will only be allowed to make stunning science fiction movies! This film is adapted from Andy Weir's best-selling novel. It tells the story of an astronaut who was abandoned on Mars after being mistaken for death in a major storm. He was subsequently rescued by planting potatoes and survived. This movie is definitely more heartbreaking, touching, and funny than you think. The protagonist's attitude of not succumbing to fate laid the foundation of a hopeful tone for the film. This is another milestone in science fiction movies. No movie has looked so cool recently! It is estimated that this movie will be difficult to surpass in the next few years.

The Martian quotes

  • [first lines]

    Melissa Lewis: All right team, stay in sight of each other. Let's make NASA proud today.

    Rick Martinez: How's it looking over there, Watney?

    Mark Watney: Well, you will be happy to hear that in Grid Section 14-28, the particles were predominately coarse but in 29, they're much finer and they should be ideal for chem analysis.

    Rick Martinez: Oh, wow. Did everybody hear that? Mark just discovered dirt.

    [laughs]

    Rick Martinez: Should we alert the media?

  • Bruce Ng: Mars' atmosphere is so thin, by the time the ship's going fast enough for air resistance to matter, it'll be high enough that there's practically no air.

    Vincent Kapoor: You want to send him into space under a tarp?

    Bruce Ng: Yes... Can I go on?

    Vincent Kapoor: [frustrated look] NO.
