The journey of Mark Watney who gets stuck on Mars, alone... when his teammates leaves him behind due to a storm on Mars & how he tries to defy all odds on a inhabited planet and his strong will to survive and go back home.
This is one hell of a concept. The direction (Ridley scott) is good and gripping throughout, not extraordinary though (if you are expecting something like gravity) . The music (Harry Gregson) is amazing and keeps you on the edge of your seat. The movie being in 3d, adds to it. Makes it visually stunning and even more interesting. The cinematography (Dariusz Wolski) is good. Its a visual treat. The writing (Drew Goddard & Andy Weir) is good, but not legendary. Characters are well defined. What keeps you hooked throughout the movie is Lead Actor (Matt Damon) . You feel sorry for him, you laugh when he laughs, you cry when he cries. Kickass acting by him, even by the supporting cast and his astronaut teammates.
Go for it. Not something to be missed.
His will to survive on a stranded planet will leave you thinking about your existence on this planet.
