เป็นหนึ่งในหนังโปรดที่ดูกี่รอบก็ไม่เบื่อ

ต้องบอกว่าเรื่องนี้กลับกับเรื่องอื่น คือได้ดูหนังก่อน ค่อยไปหาหนังสือมาอ่าน (เพราะอยากรู้รายละเอียดลึกๆของศัพท์เทคนิคต่างๆในหนัง ซึ่งในหนังสือผู้เขียนมีข้อมูลแน่นปึ้ก) แต่กลายเป็นว่า ยิ่งอ่านยิ่งต้องขอบคุณคนเขียนบท ที่ดัดแปลงมาเป็นบทภาพยนตร์ได้ดีมาก ในหนังสือว่าสนุกแล้ว พอมาเป็นหนังก็สนุกไม่แพ้กัน เก็บทุกรายละเอียด และมุกตลกแพรวพราวในหนังสือออกมาได้เกือบหมด และขอบคุณผู้กำกับที่แปลงคำบรรยายในหนังสือออกมาเป็นภาพได้น่าดูชม แถมเพลงประกอบโดนใจเข้ากับวัยป้าๆอย่างเรา 

หนังได้รับการเสนอชื่อเข้าชิงรางวัลหลายเวที ไปลองหาอ่านเอานะ
ส่วน Matt Damon ได้รางวัล Best Actor จาก Golden Globe Award - Motion Picture Musical or Comedy จำได้ว่าตอนขึ้นไปรับรางวัล Matt พูดทำนองว่า "ใช่ The Martian เป็นหนังตลก" 


 Plot (from Wikipedia)

In 2035, the crew of the Ares III mission to Mars is exploring Acidalia Planitia on Martian solar day (sol) 18 of their 31-sol expedition. A severe dust strom threatens to topple their Mars Ascent Vehicle (MAV). The mission is abandoned, but as the crew evacuates, astronaut Mark Watney is struck by debris. The telemetry from his suit's bio-monitor is damaged and Watney is erroneously presumed dead. With the MAV (Mars Ascent Vehicle) on the verge of toppling, the remaining crew takes off for their orbiting vessel, the Hermes.

Watney awakens after the storm, injured and with a low-oxygen warning. He returns to the crew's surface habitat ("Hab") and treats his wound. As Watney recovers, he begins a video diary. Unable to communicate with Earth, his only chance of rescue is the next Mars mission; in four years, the Ares IV will land 3,200 kilometers (2,000 mi) away at the Schiaparelli crater. Watney's immediate concern is food; being a botanist, he creates a garden inside the Hab using Martian soil fertilized with the crew's bio-waste and manufactures water from leftover rocket fuel. He then cultivates potatoes using whole potatoes reserved for a special Thanksgiving meal. He also begins modifying the rover for the journey to the Ares IV MAV site.

On Earth, NASA satellite planner Mindy Park, reviewing satellite images, notices moved equipment and realizes Watney must be alive. NASA director Teddy Sanders releases the news to the public, but decides not to tell the Ares III crew so that they will remain focused on their mission, over flight director Mitch Henderson's strong objection.

Watney takes the rover on a one-month journey to retrieve the Pathfinder probe, which fell silent in 1997, and its associated Sojourner rover. Using Pathfinder's camera and motor, he establishes visual contact with NASA. NASA transmits a software patch to link the mission's rover with Pathfinder, enabling communication by text. Sanders finally allows Henderson to inform Watney's crewmates.

Mars missions director Vincent Kapoor and Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) director Bruce Ng prepare a space probe to deliver enough food for Watney to survive until Ares IV's arrival. Meanwhile, the Hab's airlock blows out, exposing the Hab to the harsh Martian environment, killing all the potato plants. Sanders orders the routine safety inspections be bypassed to save time, as a result the Atlas V rocket explodes soon after lift-off.

The China National Space Administration has developed a secret booster rocket, the Taiyang Shen. The decision is made to use the rocket to resupply Watney. Physicist Rich Purnell devises an alternative plan: have the Taiyang Shen rendezvous with and resupply the Hermes, which will then use Earth's gravity to "slingshot" back to Mars two years earlier than Ares IV. Sanders rejects the idea, considering it too risky for the Hermes crew. Henderson surreptitiously sends Purnell's proposal to the crew; they unanimously vote to implement it without seeking NASA approval, disabling NASA's remote controls and making the course change. Sanders is forced to support them publicly, but demands Henderson resign after the Ares III mission is complete.

Watney begins the 90-sol journey to Schiaparelli, where the MAV for Ares IV has been pre-positioned. He must use it to rendezvous with the Hermes, but it needs to be lightened considerably. After takeoff, when the MAV runs out of fuel, its velocity relative to the Hermes is too fast for Watney to be picked up. Commander Lewis quickly improvises, using an explosive to breach a forward airlock, resulting in air escaping violently and slowing down the Hermes. It is still not enough; using a tethered Manned Maneuvering Unit, Lewis is unable to reach Watney. Watney pierces his pressure suit, using the escaping air to propel himself to Lewis, ending his 561 sols alone on Mars.

After returning to Earth, Watney becomes a survival instructor for astronaut candidates. Five years later, as the Ares V is about to launch, those involved in Watney's rescue are seen in their current lives.
