I've just rewatched this as I received Andy Weir's book as a Christmas gift so I really had to see this masterpiece of a movie for the second time around (which I must say I've enjoyed even more than the first one). Let me tell you from the getgo to pick up the novel. It's got all the anwsers to all the question you might have and it's written as a (surprise surprise) personal log by Mark Watney. Matt Damon does a great job, as does Sir Ridley Scott. Really no objections as to the cinematic endeavour. As for the science, maybe it's far fetched, maybe it's not, others (far more qualified than me) have speculated on the matter so look into it for yourself. Either way, it doesn't bother me and the movie experience is unencumbered by this aspect so I strongly strongly recommend you watch this amazing piece. Enjoy
