Ridley Scott’s interplanetary drama The Martian has already attracted comparisons to 2013’s hit Gravity, with the former film currently being watched closely to see if it can surpass the latter’s box office success. The comparisons aren’t arbitrary; both films feature an astronaut stranded in space with seemingly no hope of survival, and both walk a strange line between between science fiction and science fact, since they largely only show technology that already exists (scientific inaccuracies notwithstanding).
Where Gravity‘s protagonist Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) is left with nothing but her own will to survive and the help of George Clooney, The Martian‘s Mark Watney (Matt Damon) has NASA spending millions of dollars and throwing every ounce of brain power that they have into bringing him home alive. Indeed, between the number of times that the NASA logo appears and the portrayal of the space agency as flawed but ultimately compassionate and heroic, The Martian makes for profoundly effective pro-NASA publicity.

lol....it is all good. There are a lot of great movies there. Think my top three would be:
1. Apollo 13
2. The Martian
3. The Right Stuff
Although I haven't seen First Man yet.
