Disregarding the record-smashing movie Star Wars: The Force Awakens for a moment, we can’t ignore The Martian, one of the most interesting movies of 2015. As some fans have pointed out, the film is about saving Matt Damon – yet again – from an inhospitable place. And that’s just one of the key points that the brilliant “honest trailer” for The Martian captures.

DON’T MISS: There’s more to Rey’s mysterious flashback in ‘The Force Awakens’ than meets the eye

For those of you unfamiliar with the Screen Junkies YouTube channel, you should know the gang behind these videos releases honest trailers for all sorts of movies on a regular basis. As such, it’s not surprising to see The Martian get a similar treatment.

Ridley Scott’s movie gets a hilarious trailer that’s almost five minutes long and you definitely don’t want to miss it, especially if you’ve seen and enjoyed The Martian.

Screen Junkies makes fun of the fact that Matt Damon needs to be rescued yet again from space, and of all the math involved in this huge science-filled NASA commercial. But we won’t spoil it for you because it’s definitely a fun one to watch.
