"The Martian" has a high degree of scientific accuracy.
Explanation:
When Andy Weir wrote the book he used feedback from others to make the book as accurate as possible.
When the film was being made, NASA was engaged to make it scientifically accurate. In fact NASA wanted the film to advertise the idea of travelling to Mars.
All of the science is possible with current technology maybe with a few future improvements.
The film didn't show the effects of Martian gravity being about 40% of Earth gravity. It also didn't fully show the very cold temperatures on Mars. Otherwise the film was very accurate.
