I would describe Ridley Scott’s THE MARTIAN as “infectiously hopeful”. Astronaut Matt Watney, played with irresistible charm by Matt Damon, rarely succumbs to the near hopelessness of his situation. It’s hard not to smile along with him, cheering him on as he proceeds to outsmart the red planet at every turn.
Damon finds support in an all-star cast in this bright bit of science fiction, including Jeff Daniels, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Jessica Chastain, and more. As you’ve probably figured out, Damon’s Watney is the titular Martian.
