The Martian (12A)
Director: Ridley Scott. Starring: Matt Damon, Jessica Chastain. 141 mins.
Sci-fi genius Ridley Scott (Alien, Blade Runner, Prometheus) takes us to Mars for a gripping, action-packed tale of disaster and survival. Based on the bestselling novel by Andy Weir, the story follows a crewed trip to the Red Planet. A devastating Martian storm forces an early evacuation, and astronaut Mark Watney (Damon) is presumed dead – but in fact he’s alive, injured, stranded and alone. Will he ever make it home? Contains infrequent strong language and injury detail.
