As someone who's really interested in space and astronomy, I find this film quite fun and anyone interested in astronomy should definitely give it a try!
Every thing Mike does to make himself survive longer are all actually a real accurate, proven way to survive Mars by scientists. Also the whole space travel, disagreements are all pretty accurate as well. What I'm trying to is, a real life situation where an astronaut is stuck on Mars would definitely play out like the Martian if it were to ever happen
One nice little touch is that the few really interesting interesting lines Matt Damon delivers is really thought-provoking. Like the "in 4.5 billion years I'm the first to climb the mountain" and the quote he says at the end was pretty great.
The tone/themes were basically trying to tell the audience on how to survive Mars and it can go wrong when unexpected which I really like. But remember this film was basically a documentary so no real plot or tone was really there.
There isn't really anything bad to call out for. The few comedic moments it had wasn't really funny and the director was kind of stupid and annoying but this film is hard to call out and is enjoyable to pretty much everyone
Rating: 8.0/10.
