The whole movie is very boring, there is no bright spot at all. When I saw the place where Mark woke up and dealt with his wounds, I kind of knew that the whole movie was going to tell the story of Mark being rescued. The only thing that is slightly interesting in the film is that Mark uses the theory he has learned from botany to build a greenhouse on Mars himself, and the fertilizer is his own poo. By growing his own potatoes, he gained more time to survive. At the end of the film, many years have passed since Mark was rescued, and he has become a famous university professor, sharing his experience with everyone, telling everyone that this knowledge is very important and may really save your life. At the end, it makes people feel that this is just promoting the importance of science to future children.
There is no detailed description of Mark's psychology or the psychology of other astronauts in the film. The jokes are also terribly boring -- Mark ranted about the captain's choice song three times on Mars. The whole film is very thin, and after watching it once, you won't want to watch it a second time.
