The story follows Mark Watney, a botanist and mechanical engineer who is presumed dead and left behind on Mars after a fierce storm forces his crew to evacuate. With only a meager supply of food and his own ingenuity, Watney must "science the s*** out of this" to survive on a planet where nothing grows and help is millions of miles away. Why the Tamil Dub Works
The Martian is effectively a one-man show. For Tamil directors looking to break away from the standard "hero vs villain" formula, this film demonstrates how to build tension using scientific process rather than fight choreography.
4/5 stars for the effort. It is one of the top 5 Hollywood-to-Tamil dubs available today, on par with The Avengers and Titanic .
