*The Martian* is one of the BEST space movies!
The Martian was by far, one of my favorite films I have ever seen. It made you laugh, cry (happy tears and tears of fear), jump and tense up beyond belief. It kept you at the edge of you seat all while staying fairly scientifically accurate and having a great comedic side to it. It was so incredibly fun to watch and I enjoyed every single second of it. I tried my hardest to keep my inner nerd in check for your sake so let me know if you liked this type of reaction!! I hope you guys didn't have to deal with my random passionate teary eyed moments and emotion throughout the movie TOO badly LOL Thank you so much. I hope you all enjoy as much as I did ♥

As one reviewer put it, “The most science fiction aspect of this movie is that NASA is fully staffed and funded, and the politicians listen and follow the scientists’ advice.”
💯
😂 I might be wrong but I also heard that the other science fiction part of the book and maybe movie is that Mars doesn’t have storms.
@@Serenity113 Mars has 1000x less density atmosphere and less intense transfer system moving energy from equator to the poles.
No, the most science fiction aspect was CNSA working with NASA. I don't care that they supposedly went behind the backs of the politicians, I still don't think that would happen. NASA being well-funded has happened before during Apollo, China gifting the US their most advanced rocket is just too unrealistic.
@@Serenity113 it has "storms", but with its low density atmosphere they're more like what we'd call a light breeze.
4:28 In the books the NASA people go through Watney's file and discuss the fact that he is the best possible person to be stuck on Mars because he is: a trained astronaut, a botanist and has a psych profile that indicates incredible determination and good humour in high-pressure environments.
And a mechanical engineer.
He didn't lose the weight, they used a body double. He was WILLING to lose it, but the director forbade him. Apparently he lost a ton of weight for another movie and it cost him in health problems.
Also your copy has scenes I didn't have in my version, so I got to see some extra scenes now. Love your reaction!
But strangely seemed to miss the scene establishing the Beck/Johansen relationship.
I noticed an extra scene in which Watney was still doing the other astronauts science missions. Given his lack of food, and other things he had to do to stay alive, I thought that he would be as sedentary as possible to save expending calories.
I don't know if they cut the scene to shorten running time, or if him doing those extra science missions made him seem less in danger and desperate.
Courage Under Fire he lost a lot of weight, I think without medical supervision. Messed him up.
There's absolutely no reason for him to lose weight for this film. That would have been stupid. The role didn't need it at all to make the film work. Ridley was definitely right.
thanks for the info (not being sarcastic)
"And this is exactly how scientists are." Yes, we all look like Matt Damon.
I can confirm: it's what my imaginary girlfriend tells me every day.
Are we talking Damon with scraggly beard or without? I think I could be mistaken for scraggly Damon in a dark alley...at a distance.
Malnourished and unshaven?
I like how in the book it is stated that Mark’s humor and state of mind is a major factor to his survival.
I started listening to the book but by the time he's ceating water he's not shown any humor, it's all been technical. He did X and Y, Z happened, he was tired and went to bed. I guess it's intentional "talking to the Black Box".
I think the film made that pretty clear too, even if it wasn't explicitly stated. If that man hadn't had such a positive attitude, he would have killed himself right after he realized the situation he was in.
Adam Savage *loved* the book, and the movie, and interviewed Andy Weir multiple times. One of my absolute favorite facts learned from those interviews was that the orbital mechanics, launch dates, etc., are accurate, and required Andy to work the timeline *backward* from Thanksgiving so that there would be reason for fresh, whole potatoes to be on the lander.
I love the interview when he said straight up "YES I KNOW THERE ARE NO STORMS ON MARS" but he had to have a catalyst for him being stuck and noted it was fiction.
My favourate thing about the book this movie is based on is at one point, Watley had to calculate power usage per sol a lot, so he developed a unit of measurement to help with it. Since it was just shorthand for himself, he called it "Pirate-Ninja". Well, the people at JPL (Jet Propulsion Lab) have to calculate that a lot as well. They have started to informally use that unit of measurement between engineers, and even when speaking with management.
Of course, the biggest change is that the book laughed at the Iron Man idea, and immediately dismissed it as stupid.
Funny, I looked it up and one pirate-ninja is 1 kwh per Sol, or approximately 40.55 watts.
Wow...that's really stupid. 4 syllables for something that minor? Waste. I hate languages.
The book is (sorry to be cliche) amazing. I recommend it to anyone. It’s not an intimidating or difficult read at all either.
@@DoremiFasolatido1979 Well, it does shorten it significantly and makes the math a bit easier to do.
FYI - because sometimes people forget, or weren't even born by then and don't know or haven't looked it up. Pathfinder is a real probe that landed on Mars in 1997. Interestingly enough - it was the very first time I can recall of NASA releasing images and data to the public via internet. This was in a time when dial-up modems were still the primary means of getting online. Needless to say - their early website got CRATERED (pun intended) from the attention by tech savvy fans.
I always start crying when China steps in and is like - "You need a rocket, we... uh... we got a rocket." The idea of superpowers working together to do something that's actually truly good makes the optimist in me weep.
You'd love the story of the 1975 Apollo-Soyuz Test Project, if you don't already know it.
Its not unheard-of in space. And the book did a great job pushing the angle that it was really the 2 space agencies twisting their governments arms
Yeah, that would NEVER happen IRL. And if the scientists ever took initiative to pressure the Communist Party like that, they'd be in prison in half a second.
@@cpob2013
In that case yeah. Makes way more sense. Otherwise, yeah, China would happily slit Watney's throat so they could establish their own manned Mars colony.
@@robertlombardo8437 In the book, the Chinese scientists THEMSELVES note that they are going to SELL the idea of helping the American space program recover Mark Watney by cutting a deal that the party apparatchiks would sell their own grandmothers for happily - getting a Chinese astronaut onto one the later Ares missions! And in the epilogue - check out the Chinese astronaut next to the Veteran pilot Martinez in the launch capsule that’s taking them up to the Hermes in Earth orbit!!
Never question the power of Duct Tape. Great review.
YEP... i`ve use it for repairing punchers on my bike... it lasted for years lol
From the book: "Duct tape is magic and should be worshipped."
@@donsample1002 Duct tape is really useful but I wouldn't worship it tho. It's a bloody duct tape, nothing divine about it tho
In essence,Duct tape is "The Force",it has a light side,a dark side and it holds the Universe together
@@KryptonKr it's a line from the book and your be laughing about it in context
I've seen this movie at least 20 times. Never fails to engage me. This film is terrific.
I really recommend the book it was based off of, by the same name. They covered about 1/3 of the problems he faced in the book, and there's a lot more of Watney's inner dialogue, which is just delightful.
I predict that this will be the movie that accounts for Gens Z and Alpha getting personally interested in space.
@@isaackellogg3493 Absolutely, like 2001: a Space Odyssey did for my generation.
i LOVE this movie because of how un-dramatic it is. it absolutely has dramatic moments, of course, but its never hollywood-ized added drama like in Apollo 13 (which is an awesome movie, dont get me wrong) ...this just FEELS right, its what you would expect highly trained scientists and astronauts to do: be professional, solve the problem, and science the shit out of everything.
I think one of the best things about this film is that there are no "evil" or "bad" humans just everyone doing what they believe is right to save a single person. The closest thing to the villain of the story is nature itself and most of us know better than to get angry at the storm, we just have to grit our teeth and survive it.
Agreed on Apollo 13. The only criticisms against the film that anyone actually from the Apollo 13 mission had was that Gene Kranz lost his cool in a scene (he was always calm and collected), and the idea that Swigert wasn’t ready (he was a NASA astronaut like all the others and he knew his stuff). Still a fantastic movie.
@@douglasmurata4945 I know, that's what I meant by Hollywood-ized added drama
I had the pleasure of listening to Gene Kranz detail the event and he said the “drama” that was inserted into the script was the only criticism he had of the movie. Everyone was a professional and behaved professionally throughout the entire mission.
The two things the movie did that felt hollywood-ish to me were both in the final rescue scene, and both were different from the book. In the book Commander Lewis doesn't participate in the EVA to grab Watney, because her job is the safety of the entire ship. Instead she trusts her EVA specialist, who is the most trained person for something like that to do it, even though I'm sure she wanted to do it herself.
In the book, Watney also didn't do the whole fly around like Iron man bit, which was very unrealistic (for anything like a stable push, he'd have to have his hand clamped between his legs, so it's inline with his center of gravity. When it shows him with his hand out to the side and thrusting, he'd just be doing spins instead of going in a straight line), although Watney did come up with the idea, it was nixed by Commander Lewis as too dangerous. In the book the decompression of the vehicle bay was enough that they were able to rescue him.
It's a bit of a shame, because other than Martian atmo being so thin that the MAV wouldn't ever have needed to launch for fear of tipping over (something the author has said he knows in interviews, but had to happen for the story), the science is *very* good.
Still an incredible movie, and an incredible book, nit-picks aside :)
There are two deviations from scientific reality in this story (both in the book and movie). The first is that the Martian atmosphere is so thin that even though winds get up to 200mph or more, they'd struggle to rustle a fabric flag let alone rip a metal dish antenna off its mounts and knock Watney far enough that he couldn't be seen (the darkness and lack of visibility is very true, that darkness is ultimately what killed the Opportunity rover). Weir knew this but needed the story to start somehow, so took artistic license to force a situation where Mark could be left behind. The second is that Martian soil is full of perchlorates, a poison that would make it impossible to grow anything. Weir didn't know about this because it wasn't discovered until after the book was published. That said, perchlorates are soluble in water, so you'd just need to wash the soil thoroughly first and then filter the water for re-use. Rather than a scientific discrepancy, it's easy enough to simply assume Mark did that and we just weren't told about it. If Weir wanted to, he could publish a second version with an additional paragraph added to deal with the perchlorates.
As for your question about whether the crew can turn around and go back. No. Travelling between planets isn't anything like driving between two locations on Earth because both the destination and origin planets are moving relative to each other. There is a transfer window where you can move between planets but once you're outside that window you just have to wait (the transfer windows come around approximately every two years), and once you're on a transfer orbit there's nothing you can do but get to your destination. The only reason the Rich Purnell maneuver was possible is because Andy Weir chose the dates of the story to fit the alignment of transfer windows, that is a departure window was almost perfectly aligned with the arrival window, this is an extremely rare occurrence (I think this was the only one he found in a 10 or 15 year range or something).
Very well done comment.
There’s another one! In the film, for budget and logistical reasons obviously, Mark seems to be experiencing 1g or nearly 1g on Mars, but he should be experiencing only 38% of Earth gravity on the surface, making him significantly lighter and able to jump quite high, but he moves as if in 1g.
Dude….it’s a fukin movie. Try to learn the diff between a movie and a documentary. And reality and Hollywood.
@@Zacharysharkhazard that's just the movie. The book very much takes gravity into consideration.
Theres a lot of deviations from the book.
@@williamsimmons152 What the hell is wrong with you, William? No one here is confused about the difference between a movie and reality, and no one is angry about the things they took creative license with. People are discussing the liberties they took with the science because it's an interesting topic. So there's no reason for you to be an asshole about it!
while the book has so much more material, the movie did a phenomenal job with the adaptation. neil degrasse tyson himself says this is one of the best, scientifically-accurate space movies. the author, Andy Weir, recently published another space-centered book (with an Audiobook version), "Project Hail Mary". I 100% recommend it to everyone who loved The Martian.
If I remember right the biggest scientific discrepancy is that Mars' atmosphere isn't dense enough for a weather event such as the one that incited the movie but otherwise it's solid.
I just started reading Project Hail Mary. It's really good and the same elements as the Martian. I heard for the audio book of it they did some really great things with the music and sounds.
@@intense79nick yes. and I think I remember Andy Weir saying just made up the material for the habitat that shielded Watney from the radiation because we don't have that technology right now.
What I absolutely loved about the book was the balance between story and science. There was enough science explained to allow the reader to understand why certain things work or happen, but not to the point of being a text book. Also it is a fantastic exercise on effective problem solving as much as showing how imagination and knowledge, along with a healthy dose of a sense of humor, can allow anyone to overcome challenges.
And "Artemis." He cranked that one out a few years ago. Really, *really* good.
The thing is with space travel, it's essentially 99% just falling. Once the spacecraft is out of the atmosphere, rockets just help guide the spacecraft to where it's falling to. It's near impossible to make U-turns with limited fuel supply and without the aid of gravity wells from other heavenly bodies like moons and planets. Best explanation of space travel I've heard was from Space Cowboys, "You just have to hit the baseball halfway there and the Moon's gravity does the rest."
Wow, someone else who not only saw Space Cowboys but remembers a quote from it? I salute you sir.
"There goes the love of my life rolling down the hill in a fibreglass $h!thouse..."
The Martian is criminally underrated. It’s easily my favorite film. It got me into watching more of Matt Damon’s films as I never cared much for him until I saw this. Now he’s one of my more liked actors lol.
I love how hopeful this movie is. Shows how versatile humans can be in adverse circumstances. Lovely film.
the death star at 19:43 lmao :D love it
I was wondering if anybody else would catch that one. Good eye.
I loved her inserting herself dancing in some shots, I wonder if that's a new thing? I never noticed that before.
I was looking for this comment :P
I did the same thing putting a friend of mine into the video displays from the BBC 12 interview scene from 2001: a Space Odyssey. Since a lot of those effect shots are done with locked off cameras, it's surprisingly easy to do with modern video editing software, and the result is super compelling. I got addicted to making sure everything lined up just perfectly, adding trapezoidal distortion to get the perspective right, etc.... (aka what I did during coronavirus lockdown).
Can we also mention how great the soundtrack is? The way this film uses 'Starman' by David Bowie is just perfection. And I love the fact that they actually played 'I Will Survive' over the end credits, that is just so fantastically appropriate
Though Book Watney's personal pick for his theme song was "Staying Alive" by the BeeGees.
The Starman montage is so good, I tend to cue it up to watch just that scene. It's also the scene that Andy Weir himself used to gauge the diameter of the centrifuge element of Hermes as depicted in the film: he estimated that the centrifuge has a radius of eight Kate Maras. I worked it out that since she's 5'2", or 157.48 cm, the speed of light is about 190 million Kate Maras per second, which, personally, would suit me just fine.
One of my favorite lines from the book, was after he had reached the fuel converter at the booster site, NASA ordered him to assign every drop of unnecessary water to be converted to fuel, including his urine. Mark said "If this works, i'm gonna tell my grandkids that I was p*ssing rocket fuel!"
Mine is with the RTG
Nasa put a lot of work into making sure that (breaking) won't happen and if I can't trust nasa who can I trust? For now I'll forget that nasa told us to take it 5 km away and bury it."
@@cpob2013 I took the laptop outside...Yeah, it turns out, the 'L' in LCD stands for liquid. It boiled off instantly. Maybe I should write a product review! "Took item to the surface of Mars. Item stopped working. 0/10 stars."
I can not miss the two scenes that are very meta, as when they refer to the Fellowship of the Ring, with the actor from Boromir there present, Sean Bean.
Or that they reference Ironman with the Winter Soldier also present, Sebastian Stan.
Although good, Matt Damon also had sequential roles in two Marvel movies, Deadpool 2 and as Loki in Thor Ragnarok.
I really wanted Mitch to say "One doesn't simply walk into Schiaparelli Crater."
I want my code name to be Glorfindel
Winter Soldier and also Luis from Ant-Man.
@@isaackellogg3493 I loved that little aside from Teddy. Showed he too had some inner "geek" to him, even as uptight as he usually was. :D
It's not a huge role but Kate Mara also played the marshall at the start of Iron Man 2 who serves Tony the congressional summons. Not to mention Damon played the asgardian actor who plays Loki in the little play in Ragnorak. With Mordo, Wong, and Aaron Davis hanging out at mission control. Lots of Marvel alum around when they made that reference.
If I remember correctly, he wrote the book chapter by chapter online for free, and with each release, people corrected his science on what would actually happen. So he corrected the science with each chapter and edited with each release so the most unscientific thing is the storm at the beginning. The atmosphere is too thin to have that sort of storm, though there can be storms that are a bit different.
Yup! Andy Weir said that he was willing to sacrifice scientific realism for drama with that storm. He wanted it to be a struggle between a man and nature, and that nature should strike first.
I'd like to recommend the movie Gattaca. It's a futuristic, sci-fi movie. Nothing flashy, but it tells a great and moving story.
I agree one of my favorite movies.
“There’s more vodka in this piss than there is piss!”
This movie is basically ET. In that movie the alien, "ET" was a botanist left alone on an alien planet who had to find a way to "phone home".
Well, no idea is original. Just as long as the movie is good.
ET actually said home phone🧐
@@wedothingsmessyhere Look at my name! That movie came out the summer between my 7th and 8th grade years. Do you think I don't know what ET said?
Slingshot maneuvers actually do two things: For one, they use the gravitational pull to change the trajectory, but they also use the movement of the planet/moon/whatever to accelerate or decelerate the vessel. 😊
Great reaction. I appreciated all of the little easter eggs you peppered throughout the video.
I say this to anybody that enjoyed this movie: My favorite thing about this movie is the fact that it had no villains. There wasn't like some nefarious astronaut or high-up NASA manager or something looking to make a profit off somebody being stranded on Mars. It was just... nature. And Space. And humanity needing to come together to solve a problem to save one man's life. That's just so wholesome!
As for the windstorms, on Mars the air is so thin, the effects wouldn't be so violent.
Yes, the book went out of its way to be accurate, but the initial wind storm was unrealistically powerful given that Mars's atmosphere is only 0.6% as dense as Earth's...but they had to have some crisis to precipitate leaving him behind, I guess. In the book there was alater storm where they note just that...that martian dust storms are gentle and suble things. (For that matter, the movie didn't bother adjusting for Martian gravity either, which should only have been 40% of Earth normal). Great movie, though.
I knew about the difference between ours and Mars gravity from Chris Hadfield but now I feel like an idiot that had no idea about the difference between Earth and Mars air.
@@Pandaemoni Yeah, there's an interview with Andy Weir where he admits that the windstorm wouldn't have been a real problem, but it needed to be the motivator for the evac. That and there's a few more steps in making Martian soil useful that Mark wouldn't have been able to do. Everything else in the book is extremely well grounded, science wise.
@@Pandaemoni Yeah, when she's all "But he's got no muscle mass left!" I'm saying, "Yeah, but everything only weighs about half as much as it would on Earth."
It's too bad they skipped the scenes from the book where, despite the weaker gravity, he still overdoes it and spends a week lounging around the Hab, taking Vicodin all day while watching Lewis' collection of Bad 70's Sitcoms. He's a literal Martian Couch Potato. "All I do is sit on my ass and watch TV all day, but so do you, so don't judge."
One of the best things about this film is that it's probably more accurate than any other fictional space film. There are some major exceptions (e.g. the wind on Mars is nowhere near that strong - the atmosphere is less than 1% as dense as Earth's) but for the most part the author of the book it's based on (Andy Weir) ran all the science past astrophysicists, botanists etc., to make sure everything was as correct and plausible as it reasonably could be.
"that romance came out of nowhere."
Well not really. They were the only 2 single people, working in close quarters for 3 years on mission and more in training. They've seen each other at their absolute best and probably at their worst. You either start loving someone or you can't really stand them after that.
There's a deleted scene on UA-cam that reveals all... the commander misses nothing.. 😃
He played "hot stuff" because he had a "hot" radioactive decaying plutonium per source a few feet away from him. The irony of the situation that it was keeping him warm / alice but can kill him because of the radiation, it was hot stuff, literally! Why not dance to it... 🤪
Mark Watney Space Pirate!
@Gerald H thanks for the clarification, I want sure whether it was alpha, beta or gamma decay in those types of power sources. In familiar with how easy it is to block alpha particle decay from my studies in radon issues in people's basements in geological bedrock areas with lots of certain types of granites or in roll front deposits.
@Gerald H I don't think he used artistic license in this case. It's specifically mentioned that Watney would be fine as long as the case didn't crack. I think he probably over-emphasized how likely it would be for the case to crack, but only through insinuiation.
19:44
THAT is a Death Star.
Thought we wouldn’t notice, but we did…
Hi Vkunia! While your copy has scenes that did not make it to the movie version, there are still some scenes left out. Are Kate Mara and Sebastian Stan's characters partners? Well, yes. There is a cut scene where Jessica Chastain finds out Michael Pena's character has been sleeping in the hallway since the temperature control in his room malfunctioned. Over breakfast, she tells him to use Sebastian Stan's room as he does not use it anyway. She then turns to both Stan and Mara and tells them that she is the Mission Commander and she knows everything.
If you like this movie, you should watch Apollo 13! It is closely based on the actual mission. Starring Tom Hanks!
This is one of those movies that if it’s ever on when I’m flipping, I have to stop and watch it until the end.
I love hard sci-fi so much more than fantasy sci-fi. This, Firefly, The Expanse, ... Being puzzle together how humanity got to a point like that is so much more enjoyable than a universe where aliens suddenly walk in and out
I still love how any scene in Firefly where the "camera" is in outer space is totally silent.
All the people who were kids in the 90s, we cheering when Matt rescue the Phatfinder
Watching you being invested and so engrossed in a movie was amazing!! I got to re-live this great movie. I don't think I've seen such a reaction from the VK.
I hope you watched the Bourne trilogy
7:37 Props to the Props Dept, eh?
14:11 Absolutely incredible prediction, Vicky! Your knowledge of movie tropes has come so far!
I can recommend the series The Expanse if you want more of this kind of "realistic" sci-fi.
Yes, all of the yes.
Well, up until it’s not. But then it’s still awesome.
The Expanse is trash. Only simpletons think otherwise.
@@strategicthinker8899 okay edgelord
@@strategicthinker8899
Regarding the HAB blowing up:
I don't know if it was explained in the movie or not but it was explained in the book. Mark going in and out of the HAB over and over and over again weakened the structure of the airlock which gets put under a lot of stress going from pressurized to vacuum over and over again. To prevent this situation from happening again, he was told to alternate which airlock he uses to get in and out.
Just wanted to say that science is inspiring. This is a cinematic version of science but it’s pretty close. This is what people who are fighting for science believe in (minus the Hollywood, which isn’t too bad), and we believe in humanity. Human ingenuity and engineering is… humbling.
If you get the chance you should get the Blu-ray because they made a mock-u-mentary about how the staff at NASA fed the crew the Rich Parnel plan that allowed them to go back get him. They also made a number of "news shows" reporting the Watney Crisis" It's fantastic!
Another good space rescue movie with lots of problem solving is Apollo 13. Even better, it's true
Really not easy to get over how adorable your personality is not to mention your beauty..but regardless thanks as always for fun reaction videos
This is such an inspirational movie. And if you loved it you should also watch Apollo 13. My family actually watched this in a marathon with The Right Stuff, Hidden Figures, and Apollo 13 to get the whole history and future of nonfiction spacetravel.
Not that it’s non-fiction but have you seen Apollo 10 1/2 by Richard Linklater? That was a pretty fun, interesting story around a family who lived in Houston at the time of the Moon Landing
You should watch Interstellar.
Agree she would cry so much
I was so excited when I got the notification that you reacted to this amazing movie. It has become one of my favorite movies of all time and I loved your reaction.
I like "The Martian" for these two reasons:
1. It takes place in space.
2. This was the movie where I first heard a David Bowie song.
🎶There’s a star maaan, waiting in the sky🎶
Millennials
Hard to believe they left out about 30% of the book. His challenges in getting to the ship to leave Mars is largely ignored. Still the film is awesome.
Glad you reviewed / reacted.
2:25 Given that it's a "YOU'RE ABOUT TO DIE" alarm, that's a good thing. XD
I love you watched the extended version! Great reaction, hope you have a great holiday season.
Are we aint talking about the edits xD they got me everytime 😂
So few humanity reaffirming movies get made these days, and we could really use more of those right now.
Gattaca is a great movie in that regard.
The casting in this movie is superb!
19:43 All these troll shots x) I love it
I'm so glad you enjoyed this movie. It's one of my favorite sci-fi's of all time. Everything about it, from the cast, to the plot, was perfect. Will always be one of my favorites.
The science WAS spot on, thank you! I love that your scientific literacy shows through, I just discovered your videos but you are amazing.
2:54
Ah! That lil purring noise just put a smile on my face! 😁🤯
A couple of minutes in, I see you already need hugs.
In the book, Mark was the botanist and the mechanical engineer. By the way, I highly recommend you read the book.
Come on, you did not include the the Lord of the Rings reference? I am a little disappointed.
Great review!
"What could possibly go wrong now?"
Oh, just wait.
Love this movie, easily in my top 10. Love your reaction to it.
Recommendation from me: Inception.
I just love your reaction so much! Love to watch your videos!
Fantastic reaction! I love that you watched the extended edition. 😊
I love this movie so much! One of my faves with a great cast.
The book is EXCELLENT! It goes into more detail, but really good.
5:04 "What could possibly go wrong now?" *chuckles*
5:04 "what could possibly go wrong now" YOU NEVER SAY THIS WORDS WHEN YOU ARE IN SPACE
The Hot Stuff scene was even more hilarious when you see the temperature reading on the bottom left and realize that it was 109 degrees inside the rover whilst Hot Stuff was playing.
IF you read the book, he has dual degrees in mechanical engineering and botany. That's how he was able to do all that crazy rocket fuel stuff and working on the hab and rovers.
The Martian is great movie. If you want another space movie, watch Apollo 13. It's got Tom Hanks and it really happened. Top 10 movie for me.
Great movie. If you loved this - the Tom Hanks movie about Apollo 13 is an absolute must see!
"I dont want another estimate! I want the procedure! NOW!"
Seriously, Apollo 13!
Even the audible version of this is really good.
I've been to where they filmed in the desert and it feels like Mars.
Reccently joined your Chanell from the UK. Your comments on The Martian have got to be the best on UA-cam.
Love your reaction. A story about Nasa you might enjoy: Early in the space program, it became clear that terrible problems would arise no matter how careful you were. And often, solving these problems required very fast action, but also incredible intelligence and creativity, and of course boldness, all done at the same time. Someone once called someone who did this "a steely-eyed missile man." This became one of the best insider compliments you could be given in Nasa. In Apollo 13, the guy who figured out how the astronauts could make an emergency setup to use the CO2 absorbers from the command module in the LEM, was, in the movie, called "a steely-eyed missile man" in appreciation of his feat. I am impressed at how you, without a lot of heavy "science" and "tech" background, picked up on that and saw how it was portrayed in "The Martian" and how important it is to the story. I have doubts as to whether I would have been as sharp.
BRUHHH those few frames of the deathstar got me good xD 19:43
The edits!!! THE EDITS!!!!
Loved watching you react to this one. It reminded me so much of my daughter watching it the first time (of the many times she's watched).
I could watch this every day. Great reaction ❤
God all the random stuff you inserted, hilarious :D Even the Death Star!
"What could possibly go wrong now?" Oh, you have no idea...
love your reactions... you have such a good heart
This is such an amazing movie! I'm glad that you were so into it! Andy Weir, the author of the book this movie was based on, really did his homework on this story! So cool! I love to watch this as a double feature with Gravity! You also were watching the extended cut, which had a few more details from the book!
I'll be watching this awesome movie again. Thanks for reviewing this!
This was an unexpected treat. Didn't realize you were going to react to this. I saw it listed on Disney+ and almost watched it again last night. :)
Lovely reaction. As you enjoyed this movie about astronauts and science, I'm sure you'd also enjoy Interstellar (2014). It also has some strong emotional moments and a nice little surprise after watching The Martian!
Probably also Gravity (2013).
Was going to suggest Interstellar.
Interstellar was rubbish compared to this.
Great review.
And as mentioned below, another great movie like this would be 'Gattaca'. One of my all time favorites.
I love this movie. Favorite line" I'm going to have to science the blank out of this".
I just always crack up when they make the Lord of the Rings reference about Elrond and they make Sean Bean of all people present explain it with him having actually played Boromir in it.
Steely Eyed Missile Man is one if not the highest honor to bestow upon someone for a unique ability to quickly and cooly solve complex problems under enormous pressure. I like it how amongst all the other myriad of details also put this NASA tradition into the movie.
This movie actually won an Oscar that year for best comedy.
Astronauts are the most terrifyingly chill under pressure people in existence.
I watch this movie over and over. Glad you enjoyed it.
I've watched this movie so many times, it never gets old.
dang it, you made me spit out my drink with "do people keep food in their beard?" LOL
If you have a beard, you probably managed to save some of your drink.
@@jobias514 yes, it spilled right into the cup that I have stashed in there.
Yes, yes we do
One of my top 5 movies of all time and one of the few movies i can re watch.
You should react to 2001: A Space Odyssey and it’s sequel 2010: The year we make contact
I felt like I was watching the movie for the first time :) love the way you do your movie reviews. They are at the level of Maria Menounos but in a reaction to watching the movie with you. Keep up the good work! ☺
Another recent, and very impressive sci-fi film is called "Moon." Highly suggest.
Fun fact. While this is one of the most accurate sci-fi films ever made. The storm that sets up this situation is inaccurate. While global sand storms are actually pretty common on mars the atmosphere is so thin that a 100mph gale would feel like a light breeze. And couldn't possibly tip the ship over. However they are still very dangerous but mainly because of the sheer amount of dust it would blow into there equipment and suits. And the dust on mars is actually pretty toxic to human life due to the extreme amount of salts in them.
I DID NOT KNOW they came out with an extended version, holy hell.
This won the Academy Award for best comedy. Not a misprint
