Jean, This is the film version of the best selling book. I read the book over a year ago and really enjoyed it. The author is a NASA scientist and he included all kinds of details about space travel and Mars itself. (Book even had a map of Mars.) This movie is very well done by the director, Ridley Scott.
As in the book the astronaut (Matt Damon) is left on Mars by his space mission and has to solve all kinds of problems for his survival until a rescue mission arrives .It is a long scientific trek (135 minutes)which arrives at a big dramatic climax in outer space . Along the way there are ASCIII tables, human nutrition calculations, etc. The movie's message is "Do The Math". but it certainly is a stirring space adventure. Dad
P.S. The previews are:
Joy
Crimson Peak
Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part II
The Revenant
Their Finest Hours
In the Heart of the Sea
