In 2015, Matt Damon starred in one of the best sci-fi movies of the 21st century. Director Ridley Scott helmed an adaptation of Andy Weir's novel The Martian. The plot centers on a botanist named Dr. Mark Wanley (Damon) who is presumed dead on Mars during a space mission and gets accidentally left behind. When it's discovered he's still alive, NASA must find a way to bring him home. The film was only nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars, so don't feel too bad if you still haven't seen it. Watch With Us breaks down why The Martian has to be your next Netflix watch.
