We’re liking this trend where Hollywood is delivering a new space epic every fall. Just in the last three years we had Gravity, Interstellar and now Ridley Scott’s The Martian, based on the super-nerdy book about an astronaut (Matt Damon) who becomes stranded on Mars after his crew leaves believing he’s already dead.

The film hits theaters on November 25, and here’s the first trailer.

At around three minutes in length, this first look at The Martian presents a different kind of space-rescue story, told from two different vantage points: the astronaut stranded on Mars, using science to extend his life long enough to be rescued, and his crew who disregard NASA’s instructions in order to pull off one helluva dangerous rescue mission.

The film comes stacked with a fantastic ensemble cast, with Jessica Chastain, Kristen Wiig, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Jeff Daniels, Michael Pena, Sean Bean and Donald Glover all in the mix. And if there’s any director we want taking us to outer space, it’s Ridley Scott (Alien, Prometheus, Blade Runner), who knows a thing or two about delivering memorable sci-fi movies.

Plus, “I’m gonna science the sh*t out of this” is already one of our favorite lines of 2015. Bring on The Martian!
