Synopsis
Centre for the Rehabilitation of the Brain Inc. (CRBI) is a Canadian Healthcare Organization (CHO) providing specialized rehabilitation services focused on the complexity of the brain. CRBI has developed a Clinical functional integrated Brain Rehabilitation technology (FBRT) aimed to assist patients through recovery.
Founded in March 2013 and incorporated on May 25, 2013, CRBI developed advanced technologies and new clinical methodologies for enhancing the recovery of brain functions. Clinical functional integrated Brain Rehabilitation technologies assist through recovery starting with integrated elicitation and amplification of anticipatory brain networks.
CRBI advanced technologies and new clinical methodologies for enhancing brain functions recovery aim to enable patients with neural matrix lesions restore neural matrix networks. Achieving recovery from neural matrix lesions patients is done through rehabilitation increasing the number of activated regions.
As a trained botanist and mechanical engineer, Watney starts devising methods to prolong his food resources by planting potatoes in Martian soil, using a supply of water he generates, and employing leftover resources from the mission. His initiatives contribute to some of the most remarkable parts of the film, exemplifying the extent of human creativity and how we can turn desperate situations into possibilities.
NASA, alerted by satellites, sees movement on the planet and realizes Watney is alive. This revelation ignites a worldwide campaign to ensure his continued survival and return him to safety. NASA scientists and engineers scramble day and night to establish contact and form a plan to deal with his rescue.
Watney communicates with NASA using the Pathfinder rover. Despite the numerous challenges of equipment malfunctions, food scarcity, and the constant threat of running out of food, he remains optimistic and resourceful.
NASA’s top minds including Vincent Kapoor, Mitch Henderson, and Mindy Park collaborate with other space agencies to devise a solution. After some time, a daring plan is put in place where the Ares III crew, currently en route on the Hermes, would execute a risky turnabout to fetch Watney.
In the final act, which is both suspenseful and inspiring, Watney launches himself into orbit using a modified ascent vehicle. The Hermes crew intercepts and retrieves him with precise coordination. The movie concludes with Watney sharing his experiences with the public and teaching younger astronauts the importance of problem solving, teamwork, and perseverance, having safely returned to Earth.
