I’ve said it before, but I think that “The Martian” is probably the closest that we’ve had to a traditional “Star Trek: The Next Generation” feature film in a while.
I love “First Contact”, but “The Martian” is close to the spirit of the show than any of the films with the cast.

At its core, “The Martian” is fundamentally about problem-solving.
It’s also an undeniably optimistic film, particularly in the context of a science-fiction genre that has grown quite cynical and pessimistic (with good reason) over the last few decades.

“The Martian” is so optimistic that it’s the rare movie where Sean Bean survives until the end, even if his character’s career doesn’t.
