Watch Matt Damon as a stranded astronaut on Mars in the trailer of Ridley Scott’s ‘The Martian’ and get blown away

The first trailer of ‘The Martian’ — Ridley Scott’s much-anticipated film based on Andy Weir’s bestseller novel of the same name is out.

The movie stars Matt Damon in the lead as astronaut Mark Watney, who is presumed dead and left stranded on planet Mars after an aborted NASA mission.

Weir’s debut novel has been a New York Times bestseller and was described by the Wall Street Journal as “the best pure sci-fi novel in years”.

The trailer is simply breath-taking and promises to do justice to the original novel. You’d certainly want to mark November 25 on your calendar for the big release. Enjoy.
