4 Reasons You Can't Miss The Martian, Matt Damon's Excellent Space Dramedy

The Martian's characters are almost exclusively brainiacs who work for NASA — Mark is a botanist, Donald Glover plays an astrodynamics expert, and we spend a lot of time at a jet propulsion lab. Science is a big part of this movie, but it's made to be totally accessible, even if you think you have no interest or wouldn't get it. You will: the script lays out everything in such logical, reasonable language that you'll be pretty sure you should have been a rocket scientist, too.
