The Martian (2015)

 Based on the Andy Weir novel, in this movie we have to once again save Matt Damon. Damon stars as Mark Watney, part of a crew sent to try to colonize Mars. When a sandstorm kicks up, his group leaves him behind, believing him to be dead. It is then a rush to attempt to get him home. One of the greatest moments in the movie is when Sean Bean, who plays Mitch Henderson, has to explain what the Council of Elrond is. This is so funny is that Bean also played Borimor in the Lord of the Rings and was at the Council of Elrond! He got to be on the Council twice!
