The Martian. I found it disappointing. Why must every sci-fi movie now have a cast of hyper personality comedians? Also not sure about the visual representation of Mars, was quite underwhelming.
As for the "science" - just as many many oversights and leaps of faith as any hollywood blockbuster.
Even so, I enjoyed it and the time passed without noticing but for some reason I was expecting more. It may be just that I've recently re-read the Red Mars, Green Mars, Blue Mars trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson (highly recommended read if you have a spare month or 2) and that has skewed my mindset.
