The Martian (2015) - an excellent movie

I first saw The Martian (2015) at the end of last year.
It is directed by Ridley Scott, so the cinematography is gorgeous. I thought the plot and characters were solid, with good acting from all. I particularly liked the banter between Mark Watney and his colleagues.
The plot is simple: Botanist Mark Watney is stranded on Mars, presumed dead by his colleagues. He must somehow survive until help arrives.
Another thing I like is that it is accurate - I'm geeky enough to look at a map of Mars for Acidalia Planitia, the site of the Pathfinder and the Schiaparelli Crater.
Here's the trailer …

To me it was a bit hard to get past the unbelievable BS. Just poke a hole in your suit to fly in space. bla bla bla
