The Martian movie quotes follow what happens when one astronaut is mistakenly left on Mars with few resources, no way to communicate and little chance to survive. The science fiction film was directed by Ridley Scott using a screenplay Drew Goddard adapted from the book of the same name by Andy Weir. The Martian opened in theaters in 2D and 3D on October 2, 2015.
In The Martian, the Ares NASA mission sends a crew (including Matt Damon, Kate Mara and Jessica Chastain) on a multi-year journey to Mars. While on the red planet, the crew encounters a storm which, they believe, kills astronaut Mark Watney (Damon). To save themselves, they leave Mars, leaving Mark behind, and head back towards Earth.
But Mark was not in fact dead and later awoke to find himself alone on the planet, 50 million miles from home, with few resources. As if trying to make food, water and shelter to last him four years, the time it would take to send a rescue mission to get him, was not hard enough, Mark also has to find a way to communicate with earth and convince NASA (including Kristen Wiig, Jeff Daniels, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Donald Glover and Sean Bean) to risk the lives of other astronauts to rescue him. None of these tasks are anything close to easy.
The Martian is just one of several highly anticipated films opening in the fall of 2015 alongside The Intern, Hotel Transylvania 2, Everest, Black Mass.
The Martian Movie Quotes,
In Your Face, Neil Armstrong

When a storm hits Mars, the crew is forced to make a decision between leaving immediately to save themselves or remaining on the planet to collect the likely dead body of crew member Mark Watney. Thinking that Mark is dead, they choose to leave to save themselves.
Going to Have to Science the S#!^ Out of This
Mark Watney: Okay, so let's do the math. I have enough food to last for 50 days. So, I'm going to have to science the s#!* out of this.
Knowing that his limited resources could very well lead to his death, Mark discusses how he plans to survive. Among other things on his task list, making water, growing food and securing shelter. No big deal, right?
I'm Still Alive, Surprise!

It's Space. It Doesn't Cooperate.
Mark Watney: It's space. It doesn't cooperate. I guarantee you that at some point, everything's going to go south on you. You're going to say, 'This is it. This is how I end.' Now you can either accept that, or you can get to work. Here's the rub. It's going to be four years for another mission to reach me and I'm in a lab designed to last 31 days. So I gotta make water and grow food on a planet where nothing grows. But if I can't figure out a way to make contact with NASA, then none of this matters anyway.
