'The Martian', one of the most anticipated movies of the year, hits the screen this weekend. On first glance, the movie appears to be a typical adventure/rescue flick with a little desperate survival thrown in for good measure. But a deeper look will make a viewer realize that it is something more than this.

The movie is based on innate human desire to help each other, no matter what, and it has the potential to be absolutely glorious. The character of Mark Watney played by Matt Damon isn't a character who is going to collapse under the strain of being left alone on mars.

There is no hunting or self-defense shown in the movie nor it shows a traditional action-hero-style survivalist rather shows the dedication and willpower of the man who is left alone on Mars.

There is no big surprise that Watney manages to rescue at the end. In the novel, the crew bands together and goes back to save Watney to rescue him. Yet in the movie, an entire epilogue, is added in the form of a nicely packaged musical montage.

The movie added a segment in the end featuring Watney and his fellow crew members in their new earth-bound lives. In the epilogue, Watney appear healthy and back to normal weight after spending long time in a deserted planet.

He is also shown teaching some aspiring astronauts and sharing his experiences on Mars. His fellow-crew members are also shown gone back to their normal lives after being in space for an elongated period of time.
