The Martian (2015)

If you liked Apollo 13 and Castaway, you will love The Martian. In fact, even if you didn't like Apollo 13 and Castaway, even though there is something wrong with you, you will love The Martian. And while you don't need a degree in rocket science, because you can guess the meaning of much of the jargon and, even if you don't, it won't detract from the movie, but if you do have a degree in rocket science, the movie will just blow you away. There is a key element of similarity between The Martian and Apollo, and I won't spoil for you what it is, but it is one of two things: They both resort to the slingshot or they are both based on real stories. If you watch all the way through the credits, you'll know which it is. In the meantime, the acting is first-rate, the dialogue is tight, the scenery and the mock-ups are mesmerizing, it has a cast of thousands, and everything is just way cool! It's not a short movie, but many might find it's worth watching to the end if only to see Matt Damon's buttocks. While this is one movie that will show better on a real movie screen, it is available for home streaming.
