This is one reason why I am a fan of Matt Damon. Never saw this in the theater we picked it up from Redbox last now & we were very surprised on how good this was! While I have a more then decent DVD collection I am picky about what I buy & I'll have to add this to my collection!
Good movie. If you are a reader, I recommend the book to you -- especially the audiobook. It is surprisingly funny. (The movie had some funny moments, but not nearly as many as are in the book.)
I still enjoy them, , and have watched them several times.
But each time I watch them, I keep finding more and more plot holes.
For The Martian, Dust Storms:
Spoiler
Because of how Earth and Mars go around the sun, it takes about 9 months to get there and to return, but you MUST stay on Mars for 3-4 months before you can start back.
THEREFORE: mission engineers will plan on the ground facilities to be survivable (with a LARGE safety factor) for that kind of extended period, for all dangers that are known. IE: planet-wide wind-storms that last weeks or months, blowing dust that is not only caustic, but probably toxic.
