The Martian

Hi, guy for the last couple of days we were watching a movie called The Martian. It is about someone getting stuck on Mars. I need to write a recount about this. Here it is.


They were going to mars to get samples of the dirt and rocks to take back to Earth. Soon after an unexpected storm was coming and they needed to leave. They were going back to the space ship when the storm arrived. It was going all fine when one of the astronauts got hit by a satellite and fell down a cliff. His name was Mark. The other astronauts had no hope of him surviving and did not want to risk another human.

Soon after they left and did not find the body. But he was not dead. He was alive but they had left them and had no way to contact them. He tried to look for the habitat that the last crew left behind. He saw something in the distance. It was Hab. There was lots of food but not enough to last him four years with is when they are coming back. There was enough food to last 64 days but that was for 6 people so he had 384 days with food.

 He tried to make water and grow food. he used his poo for fertiliser and grew potatoes. About a  year later the place that he was living in exploded that was the hab.and he was growing the food inside. All the crops died.

Soon after he found a pathfinder robot and we can talk to earth now. Also not he can send messages with his rover. about five months later we were travelling by the rover to get to the place where he can be blasted in to space so the crew and catch him and go back. He needed to do this quickly so he can be in time for the rocket to catch him.



Overall I liked the movie and I also learnt something in the movie. I Have leant to never give up even if it is hard. My favourite bit was when he was calculating how long would the food last . Have you ever watched this movie?
