I have always been indifferent to tech-based sci-fi films, so I didn't expect too much from this film, but I didn't expect it to be more exciting than expected.

Although the theme is a positive and inspirational survival film about a botanist pioneering alone on Mars, the rhythm of the story is well grasped.

Because of the memory bias, I seem to have the impression that I had seen a movie review before saying that the protagonist was not rescued in the end, so I was so nervous that my palms sweated and I finally realized that I had made a mistake. . .

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.
