The Martian
Oscar Nominations 2016
Some films get pipped at the post and miss out on all the glory of the Oscars. Just take a look at the list on the right of all the nominations "The Martian" had. This one is surely not to be missed! During a manned mission to Mars, Astronaut Mark Watney is presumed dead after a fierce storm and left behind by his crew. But Watney has survived and finds himself stranded and alone on the hostile planet. With only meager supplies, he must draw upon his ingenuity, wit and spirit to subsist and find a way to signal to Earth that he is alive. Millions of miles away, NASA and a team of international scientists work tirelessly to bring "the Martian" home, while his crewmates concurrently plot a daring, if not impossible, rescue mission. As these stories of incredible bravery unfold, the world comes together to root for Watney's safe return. |

"This is science fiction for sophisticated audiences." "'The Martian' is stirring and powerful, boasting a commanding performance from Damon." "Damon is terrific. The movie lives and breathes on his performance, and he comes through in every scene." "A tremendously exciting spectacle, and also a portrait of extraplanetary survival convincing enough that it had my 11-year-old companion on his feet cheering on several occasions." |
