Everyone feels lonely sometimes. We feel like nobody understands us, nobody thinks about us, nobody even remembers about us. Obviously, we have to admit that these are just exeptional situations. After a couple of days everything is fine and we're surrounded by friends again. But imagine if you were alone not for a week, but for several years. What's more, you would be trapped on Mars, because the crew left you during the evacuation. Doesn't sound good, huh? Fortunately, it didn't really happen. This is just a very general description of the newest movie by Ridley Scott - The Martian.
The film is worthseeing for many reasons. First of all, Matt Damon as a main character (damn, Matt, we have to rescue you again*) has completely stolen my heart. I've appreciated him as an actor for a long time, but in this movie, he was beyond everything I could expect. Matt impersonates Mark Watney - a very smart botanist who has to handle an extremely unusual situation. For me, it was a big pleasure to watch him. In the movie he is very convincing while dealing with all the problems and expressing both joy and sadness. Generally speaking, the actors were chosen perfectly in this production. Jessica Chastain plays her another big role (after Interstellar) and becomes more and more appreciated actress. I also love the fact that Sean Bean appears in this movie. The character he plays doesn't die (!!!) and makes an inspirational speech referring to the Lord of the Rings*.
The film is suprisingly funny. Obviously, the main theme is rather upsetting, but almost every scene contains some hilarious dialogues or monologues of Mark. The botanist has minimal chances to survive, but he keeps on trying to stay alive, he doesn't want to give up. I believe the humour helps him to stay strong and not to get crazy in this strange place.
The Martian is a Sci-Fi movie, so we can expect many unbelievable facts and special effects. Every single scene looks very realistic, the editors made a really good job. What's more, all the scientific information we get is based on real research, so it's not just the imagination of the director. It makes the film even more intriguing for an ordinary spectator.
To sum up, this is a gripping, humourous and emotional story about suriving and hope. It's about a determined man who has enough power to fight until he achieves his aim. I am really happy I could watch this movie and I strongly recommend it to you all. You won't get bored for a second!

* Remember Saving Private Ryan and Interstellar?
** Sean Bean played one of the main roles in LOTR - he was a member of the fellowship. As you can guess, he didn't survive it.
