Many have not acquired a taste for sci-fi and space movies due to what many teens see as an overabundance of aliens, end of the world scenarios, and unrealistic situations — but whether you love them or hate them, “The Martian” is an out-of-this-world exception. This sci-fi adventure takes viewers to Mars where the Hermes crew — a group of five NASA astronauts — are gathering soil samples before returning to their vessel. A sudden storm approaches, forcing the crew to leave Mars and fellow crew member Mark Watney, who they believe has just been killed in the storm.
