Naturally, since he's on his own on Mars, the movie relies on Watney being worth spending time with. As tends to be the case in such situations, it becomes a race against time, as Watney attempts to fend off his fate in the face of obstacles, and the team at NASA struggles with a tight timeframe to figure out a way to save him. Meanwhile, on Earth, his activities are noticed, kicking off a massive rescue attempt at NASA. Thus starts his tale of survival, enhanced by his log videos, as he must outsmart the unforgiving environment for years in the hopes of waiting until the next mission to Mars finds him.

However, through cinematic coincidences, he manages to emerge bloodied but not beaten, however is most definitely stranded. Watney's story has an unfortunate start, as the botanist, who is part of a team studying Mars, gets lost in a sudden windstorm on the Red Planet, and, thought dead by his team, is left behind in a last-second escape. If you come away from the story of Mark Watney (Matt Damon) and think it was a comedy, you should stop reading and schedule an appointment with a very nice doctor who can help you with your problems. Is The Martian funny? Somewhat, for brief stretches, though saying it features a charming lead or one who feels like a real person is a more appropriate way to describe the film. When it won two awards for comedy at the Golden Globes (because not even the Hollywood Foreign Press Association could argue it's a musical), it became possibly the most egregious example of category fraud in the Globes' existence. Whether The Martian manages to win itself one of the six Oscars it's been nominated for, the film has a spot in the history books locked up.
