The Martian (2015)

A Botanist on a Mars mission gets left for dead when his crew has to leave during a sand storm. But when he gets a message back to mission control they discover that he is alive, and but they decide to wait on letting his crew know. After they are notified they begin a plan to retrieve him. Great cast, and great special effects.

This is a great movie and I recommend it. I love movies about space exploration and what could be possible in the future. I give this movie a 5 out of 5.
