Neil deGrasse Tyson likes to analyze the “science” in science-related movies. The most recent movie he decided to exmine is “The Martian” starring Matt Damon, which was just released. Tyson published about a dozen tweets giving up details about the movie that might ruin things for those who haven’t seen it. Here are a couple that don’t give up any plot points:
The @MartianMovie — where science, not human emotion, drives the plot’s Humor, Interpersonal Relations, Tension, & Suspense.

In the @MartianMovie, they got crucial science right, while enhancing the story by fictionalizing the science that remained.
