This movie was so well set up, there wasn't a moment I became bored. Matt Damon played the role of Mark Watney so well, his slight arrogance and comic relief in such an intense situation somehow worked really well.

The Martian wasn't a "space movie", yes of course it's featured on mars but there wasn't an abundance of high impact "spaceship malfunctions" that can sometimes be played out in other movies.

Overall, for a fictional movie, the scenarios were awfully realistic. The actual science discussed was a tactic I'd like to see in more sci-fi films.
