Day 12 of Best Films of the 2010s: The Martian (2015)


I saw this twice in theaters, and just loved it. I loved how it was a movie about NASA, and there were no villains in the film, just a positive movie about trying to bring a botanist/astronaut home who got accidentally stranded on Mars after a mission, and how the botanist survives through a mix of science, savoir faire, and good humor. It felt like a really rich movie, and I liked how it combined humor, dramatic tension, high stakes, and a variety of astronauts, scientists, physicists, and mathematicians at NASA to work together and figure out issues through problem solving. I’ve mostly posted a lot about indie or artsy films, so I wanted to mention a Hollywood film that I thoroughly enjoyed.
