THE MARTIAN 3D
Following Dr. Lee’s talk, we will screen The Martian in 3D format. Nominated for seven Oscars, including Best Picture, this highly acclaimed film stars Matt Damon as an astronaut stranded alone on Mars and who must find ways to survive until he can be rescued. Damon’s “solo” performance is supported by a terrific ensemble portraying fellow astronauts and NASA officials, including Jessica Chastain, Jeff Daniels, Kristen Wiig, Kate Mara, Michael Peña, Sean Bean and Chiwetel Ejiofor, among others. Rated PG-13. Writer: Drew Goddard, based on the book by Andy Weir. Director: Ridley Scott. Film 144 min.
