The Martian

At the weekend, I went to the cinema to see this film.  It is the story of an astronaut that is mistakenly left behind on mars. It is the story of his fight for survival and how he is rescued.  It is an adaption of a novel. Usually, I avoid adaptations, because in my opinion they are rarely as good as the book. But I have never read this novel, so I could enjoy this film.  Below is a review I found on the Internet for this film. Please read it and answer the questions before class.

"Critics Consensus: Smart, thrilling, and surprisingly funny, The Martian offers a faithful adaptation of the bestselling book that brings out the best in leading man Matt Damon and

director Ridley Scott."

Before class, think of a movie or novel you would like to introduce to the class.  It can be new or old, but you must like it and would like others to enjoy it.
