Box office smash The Martian has definitely made an impact. The new thriller not only raked in $55 million in its opening weekend, it also apparently prompted some to start questioning everything they know about space. As BuzzFeed has pointed out, several tweets suggest that some moviegoers think the film, in which Matt Damon plays an astronaut stranded on Mars, is based on a true story. Sitting in the theater watching The Martian and some girl behind me asks if this is a true story…😂😂😂😑😑😑 — Curly haired fuck.
