Just saw The Martian. If Matt Damon was alone on Mars, who was filming him that whole time? Clearly fake — Sage Boggs (@sageboggs) October 11, 2015

Just saw The Martian. Good movie. Did anyone else notice there was a guy who looks like Snape working for NASA’s Mission Control?

I’m pretty skeptical about Matt Damon in The Martian. If Interstellar has taught me anything, it’s that he can NOT be trusted. — Akshar (@AksharPathak) October 2, 2015
Intereseting how NASA makes the announcement the same week that Matt Damon’s The Martian comes out.

The Martian was excellent by the way. Adapted the book really well and stands on it’s own as one of the best Scifi films in a long while.

#TheMartian also feel like everything presented in this movie would be pretty close to what NASA would look like in maybe 20 years from now
