Here's Where You Can Watch The Martian

If one were to pore over the best sci-fi films released in the past decade or so, they'd be hard-pressed to find one quite as well-loved as 2015's " The Martian ." Adapted by "The Cabin in the Woods" helmer Drew Goddard from Alex Weir's novel of the same name, and directed by the legendary Ridley Scott, "The Martian" stars  Matt Damon as astronaut and botanist Mark Watney. After his crew mistakenly strands him on Mars, Mark is forced to rely on his wits to survive the endless perils of the Red Planet. 

Equal parts harrowing survival thriller and stark character-driven drama, "The Martian" finds Damon delivering one of his finest performances to date, and doing so almost entirely sans scene partners — though the film does boast a stacked cast of supporting players including Jessica Chastain, Kristen Wiig , Jeff Daniels, Mackenzie Davis, Donald Glover, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Sebastian Stan. 

Epic scope and white-knuckle thrills aside, Damon's performance alone makes "The Martian" worthy of a rewatch — or a watch for the first time. But be warned: If you're looking to watch "The Martian" at home, your options are a bit more limited than you might think.

Where to find The Martian in the streaming realm

Unfortunately, " The Martian " isn't currently available to stream as part of a subscription to any of the major platforms. Frustrating as that might be, it doesn't mean you don't have  any viewing options if you're looking to book a trip to Mars. Rather, it means you'll need to shell out a few extra bucks to get your peepers on "The Martian" for the time being. 

You can hit up iTunes, Amazon Prime Video, and several other video-on-demand platforms to rent the movie at a cost of roughly $4 to $5. Sling TV subscribers who've signed up for the service's Sling Blue package will want to keep an eye out on FX too, as "The Martian" is currently a regular player on the network. Likewise, if you're still attached to your cable, you can track the movie down on FX via your subscription. And for those who appreciate the "watch it anytime I want" purity of physical media, there are obviously several DVD and Blu-ray options available at varying degrees of cost.

That being said, you could always just wait it out for now since "The Martian" will almost certainly be hitting one of those major streamers somewhere down the road. The choice is yours.

Where Was 'The Martian' Filmed?

By Jenna Scherer

This post was originally published in October 2015. It has been updated.

Mars has been at the forefront of the world’s mind lately, what with NASA’s recent announcement that evidence of flowing water has been discovered on the planet’s surface. We'll soon even be able to go there with VR . But our fascination with the Red Planet—and what would happen if mankind were to pay a visit—goes way back. Earthlings have dreamed up science fiction about Mars since at least the 19th century, and the more we find out about the planet, the more our curiosity has grown. But, whether you realize it or not, you may already have been to Mars—or at least one of its earthly stand-ins.

One of the latest speculative forays to the fourth planet is *The Martian,*Ridley Scott’s Oscar-nominated flick about an astronaut (Matt Damon) who winds up stranded on the planet’s surface and must figure out a way to survive solo. To approximate Mars’s dusty red environs, Scott shot the movie’s exteriors in Wadi Rum in southern Jordan. Also called the Valley of the Moon, the 278-square-mile protected area looks about as Martian as you’re likely to find on Earth.

This isn’t the first time Wadi Rum has played Mars on film. Scenes from two 2000 thrillers, Red Planet and *Mission to Mars,*were also shot here, as was 2013’s The Last Days on Mars. (The valley has also played itself, most notably in David Lean’s 1962 masterpiece Lawrence of Arabia. )

Wadi Rum has long inspired space-movie filmmakers.

While Wadi Rum may be the most popular earthly representation of the surface of Mars, it certainly isn’t the only one. With its stunning canyons and red rock formations, the American Southwest has also been a popular shooting spot. Andrew Stanton filmed his 2012 Mars-set space fantasia *John Carter,*in Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona, including in and among the otherworldly arches of Utah’s Canyonlands National Park.

For the freaky Total Recall (1990), director Paul Verhoeven filmed Martian cityscapes in Mexico City, but used Nevada’s Valley of Fire State Park as the barren surface of the planet. Most old-time Mars movies were shot primarily on sound stages, but Byron Haskin’s 1964 adventure flick Robinson Crusoe on Mars featured Death Valley’s stunning Zabriskie Point for some of its exteriors. Supernatural action film Ghosts of Mars (2001) used locations in New Mexico to evoke a deserted Martian mining outpost, including the barren white cliffs around Zia Pueblo. For additional landscapes, Aussie flick Red Planet also turned to Coober Pedy in Southern Australia, home to a barren landscape called the Moon Plain and the mesa-dotted area known as the Breakaways. It seems that we Earthlings have more in common with Martians than we ever thought.
