  • The Martian was mostly liked by critics, but it still has it's detractors. And somehow I keep landing on the same weeks with those detractors. :) This is why they're wrong. Here's everything right with The Martian.

    "I just wanna get home to my wife/husband & kids." And then it cuts over to pictures/videos of a beautiful wife and kiddos....NOPE!

  • @TacComControl
    @TacComControl 8 років тому +2620

    The Martian did have a villain, and it wasn't the planet. It was Circumstance.
    Seriously. Good old fashioned bad luck, or more importantly to point out, shit that Can go wrong in very realistic ways. The supply probe? Blew up because of an unforeseen liquification of protein cubes. The hab module decompression? The hab was never meant to last as long as it had, so of course it was going to break down. The ascent problem? Hastily planned ascent numbers coupled with unpredictable Martian weather patterns and a complete lack of aerodynamic streamlining, as well as tie-downs being used in ways they were never intended to be used, but none of the above could really be avoided. If the weather isn't right for a launch here on Earth, you scrub. If the weather isn't right in this case, where you have a very narrow launch window? You launch anyway.
    This is one of the reasons that this movie shined. Not because of a lack of a villain, but because the villain was itself simply a series of unfortunate circumstances, all of which had a very calculable path for recovery. Not only did this allow them to stick to their repetitive message that problem solving starts when you start solving problems, but it also allowed them to fill the film with other potential failures. The water reclaimer staying functional, the air system doing the same, the radioisotope battery in his passenger seat, the rover, the other upright mav, the list goes on. There were dozens upon dozens of other chekov's guns that they could have played with, and they made sure the audience was thinking it too. We all started to see right away that this was a film about realistic circumstance being the villain, so we all started looking for the next circumstance, the next point of failure, all of it.

      @Brandon Fischer Mars lacks the atmosphere to create dust storms of such a magnitude that they would cause that much damage. The author mentioned it was the only thing in the book that isn't realistic because he needed an excuse for someone to be stranded on Mars and nothing else made sense. In the book, Mark drives right through another one and only notices because charging the rover starts to take longer. That is a much more accurate example of what being on the ground during a Martian dust storm would be like.

    Actually, he wasn't about to suffocate, that was a high oxygen warning. In space, it's not running out of oxygen that's the problem, it's getting rid of Carbon Dioxide. When the suits internal scrubbers saturated, it started bloodletting, a process that instead of cleaning and reusing the air, simply vents the air and backfills the pressure, usually with nitrogen, after his nitrogen tank ran out, the suit used the only gas it could to maintain the pressure, oxygen. At high levels, oxygen can be toxic. By the time he got up he was probably already in hyperoxia, and after some time the oxygen would have killed him. A bit of an ironic death to die of oxygen toxicitiy in space.

      Jimmy eatsom Yep, Earth's atmosphere is only 21% oxygen, we don't really need all that much of it to survive, on top of that it's really easy to transport (An oxygen tank will carry up to about 3000 psi before it becomes volatile, which is 200 times more dense than our atmosphere, and that's pure oxygen, nitrogen is kept in a seperate tank). When a space suit breaches, everything it does is all about maintaining pressure, as that's the thing that's going to kill you faster.

      +dang3race2 That's what the book claims, but at 1 atmo, 100% oxygen would cause irritation to the breathing passages and lungs after 12 hours of continuous exposure. It would take 1.6 atmos of pressure at 100% oxygen to reach cause nerve damage. In reality, we often give people pure oxygen, even going so far as to put them in rooms of pure oxygen (or, y'know, Apollo capsules) for medical reasons. It's kinda crazy that Andy Weir thought that pure oxygen could kill you when one of the most famous space accidents of all time, Apollo 1, was because there was a *fire* in an atmosphere of *pure oxygen*. If pure oxygen can kill you, why would they have designed Apollo 1 to have a pure oxygen atmosphere and redesigned it not because it killed you, but because it fed fire? Once again, high concentrations of oxygen *ARE* toxic *UNDER HIGH PRESSURE*, which is not the situation here. Mark was on Mars, not the bottom of the ocean.
      Makes a nice irony, just not good science. And that's why it wasn't mentioned in the movie. Ridley Scott made a number of adjustments to account for the handful of minor scientific inaccuracies in the book.

I have actually been extremely fortunate in interning at NASA, and my first day I walked in to find a massive folder on my desk with a current project needing done. And it wasn't them just dropping random work on me, they treated me like a member of the team too. So any movie that shows NASA actually paying attention to their interns is 100% accurate.

    I've asked this question before, but theoretically, is Mark Watney the richest man on Earth when he gets back? I mean, he spent a collective 12x the collective time allotted for the Ares mission on Mars. I'm pretty sure NASA pays by salary, but that doesn't mean that he wasn't payed royally for the extra time, possibly including a gigantic bonus for hazardous conditions. So, under a slightly inflated economy (one capable of supporting not only one mars mission, but five), and the base pay of astronauts already at a high number as it is... Then the possible final payout could be ASTRONOMICAL!
    Pun intended.

    This movie is fantastic. Not just for the visuals, or the humor, or the way this feels so current to the times, but also the acting. The acting is amazing, and I can't help but gush at Matt Damon putting on the emotion for every scene he's in when something goes wrong and makes his job of survival a little harder and more miserable. They feel like legit reactions, and I love the moments of emotion he puts on. Like first being able to talk with NASA using Pathfinder to chat via text and he's getting a little choked up, then as he's waiting to launch into space at the end and he looks ready to start bawling his eyes out after hearing his crew's voices for the first time in so long. He breaks down more in the book when he gets Pathfinder working and they are able to point the camera at his question box, but still that's solid acting on Matt's part.

    Ya know, I've avoided this channel for years thinking it would be a cheap rip off of cinemasins, but you actually pay really good attention to merit worthy elements to these movies you review

    You know, I think it would be interesting to see you do one of these videos on Sunshine. You said you liked it a lot. I watched it and agree that it certainly is an underrated film. It certainly isn't without it's flaws, but still was very captivated by it's story

    First space movie to have no deaths? You forget Star Trek IV and Apollo 13.

      Star Trek IV had lots of fish deaths from the probe boiling the ocean.

      Apollo 13 was my first thought too, but the movie mentions the guys from Apollo 1 dying, so......?

      yeah but apollo 1 took place years before the movie even begins. by that logic then people died in this space story because apollo 1 happened.

    I had the same problem when reading the book. I kept forgetting it wasn't real. The way they explain the science just makes it seem so possible.

    What a great movie this is. I just watched it today, in the year of doomsday, and it brought a huge smile to my face.
    The thing that makes it a masterpiece is how it fills you with so much hope in the face of advercity.
