Martian is one of the excellent scientific fiction movies among the recently released with ‘Gravity’ which is a realistically and dramatically well made movie and ‘Interstellar’ which is a luxuriant imaginative and outstanding scientific approaching movie.

In fact, before these three movies, the nature of space films such as Star Wars, Armageddon is no more than space background and close to human dramas containing the relationship of main characters. Whereas nowadays the main stream of space film is a realism based on scientific knowledge.

Gravity raised the concentration of the audience through the great realistic direction with simple story, Intersellar caught popularity with that it realized the black hole which is existed in theory and Martian seems combined those two things properly. Martian is neither too far distance future story nor things to happen right away, but it is likely to happen to us sometime in the near future.

Some of blunt parts could be seen but we can recognize the director’s effort to express realistically. In the meantime, a lot of space fiction films have prevented the audience from immersion of pure space film by finding out dramatic elements in the character’s relationship mixed with love, betrayal and justice. But this film seems like a fine documentary by excluding possibly the story of the betrayal of fellow astronaut for Mark left alone, the concealment fact of NASA at least once anyone may ask, Mark’s complex psychological condition.
