IGN:
In December of last year, IGN hopped on a plane to Budapest, not to enjoy the beauty and splendour of Bulgaria’s capital at Christmas, but to spend a little time on Mars. Because inside the largest soundstage on the planet, director Ridley Scott and actor Matt Damon were collaborating on The Martian, a sci-fi epic that combines elements of Gravity and Castaway, but has its own gripping survival story to tell.
The film is based on the novel of the same name which Andy Weir self-published in 2011, and which went onto become something of a literary sensation. It tells the story of Mark Watney, a botanist left stranded on Mars and fighting for his life when a storm hits and his crew evacuate the planet thinking him dead.
Dark Matter Review: Although some of its runtime might be quite dense, there are moments in this sci-fi series that leaves you at the edge of your seat.
Beautiful Rebel Review: Biography on Gianna Nannini's life is a hit and a miss.
Secrets Of The Neanderthals Review: This documentary is very interesting for people who are interested in anthropology. It is also engagingly produced, making it highly captivating.
Damon is great so I'm sure I'm going to enjoy this.
I've heard some great things about the novel that praise it similarly too. I'm tempted to pick that one up in the near future too.
