If you explained the full plot of this to me before watching it I NEVER would have understood how it could be entertaining... but I was so wrong!! This was such a great film and I loved spying all of the people I recognized!!!!

Such a cool movie--Andy Weir (the author of the book) takes a whole lot of care to make the science as real as he can. The one piece where they straight up fudge it is the storm at the beginning--Mars doesn't have enough atmosphere. Obviously they have to elide some stuff, including a lot of the deeper science explanations, for the film adaptation, but it does a really good job of it. Weir's third book, Project Hail Mary, is also freaking fantastic, and we already have a trailer for the film adaptation with Gosling playing the lead.

Such good movie. My second favorite space movie behind Apollo 13. Is this the extended version or theatrical version?

I’ve tried at least 3 or 4 times to watch this movie in its entirety, but for one reason or another I’ve only made through the first 30-40 minutes. So at least now I’ll get to fully experience it with you. I guess it was fate that I never got through the whole movie.

The science is very accurate, other than the storm (and the Iron Man scene that is not present in the books, but makes sense that they wanted a more impactful moment there for a movie), Andy Weir is a "space nerd" and knows his stuff. As for the questions: 1. Steely eyed missle man is a reference to NASA engineer John Aaron, who was a flight controller for Apollo 12 and Apollo 13. 2. Besides bacteria, he eats more potatoes than he can grow. Let's say he eats 100 potatoes in 30 days but can only grow 60 in 30 days, even with replanting some, he eventually cannot keep up since potatoes take time to grow. 3. Oh, and the LOTR and Marvel references are in the book. I strongly recommend reading it! It is very funny (the audiobook is amazingly narrated too) and easy to read. I have listened to this book at least 10 times, and I still laugh when I re-listen. It has a lot more adventures than the movie (but the movie is excellent, it captures the essence of the book perfectly), and the science in it is very well explained and does not require any deep scientific knowledge to read and enjoy. I have recommended it to many friends, my parents, my nephews, and everyone loves it. Totally enjoyed this re-watch with you! :)

I have been waiting for this! What a great movie!

Theatrical cut. Great reaction! I feel like a lot of us were super tuned in to the Chilean Miners and Thai Kid Cavers rescues.

It would be absolutely helpful if you didn't just say what service you are watching from, but what version you're watching. Like, theatrical cut, director's cut, extended cut, etc etc. Especially with films like Blade Runner that have something like 8 or 9 different releases over the years. I took a stab you were watching the extended cut and sync'd up with my Blu-Ray copy. Exact same as whatever cut you were watching, right up to the moment he has the epiphany to grow potatoes, then I was wildly off. I would have just paused until your version caught up, but with the blurring, it was just fairly impossible to see where you were at with any degree of certainty, and obviously, the time stamp was irrelevant at that point. Just a suggestion for future reactions... state what version in the title text so we know if we've got the same version to play the home game along with you instead of finding out X minutes in.

I completely understand that, unfortunately, I had no idea there were multiple versions of this. I will update the title now that I know!

Viper-21

Do you have Black Hawk Down or Act of Valor planned for future reacts? Would love to watch along with you for either of those

If ya wanna know the origin of Steely eyed space man, watch Apollo 13. You’d love it. 🍻

"Six Days and Seven Nights"! My favorite Harrison Ford movie.

I think most of the science is accurate as possible, but the storm on mars was over exaggerated as the atmosphere on Mars is so thin that the storm winds would never be strong enough to knock over the craft. There are dust storms on mars but due to the thin atmosphere it doesnt take much force to blow the dust around.

This movie is considered the most scientifically accurate movie in regards to the physics astro/orbital dynamics, organic chemistry, biology/micro biology and psychology, specifically concerning what we know about human reactions to living in a system of loss and isolation. I know the book talks more about the geology (technically this "stuff" is classified in astrogeological sciences), also the weather stuff or "astrometical and planetary meteorological studies and the use of spectroscopy and other forms of analysis to project, protect. And prevent situations surrounding the use of, timing of e all of the above and including effectiveness of communications , electrolysis, monitoring his body health, electrical, chemical, and structural engineering knowledge just to maintain the mars station, then what about the hab and the car, and maintenance requiring mechanical, chemical, and nuclear engineering, and if something went wrong, he would also have to utilize an ability to understand fluid dynamics and be aware of his psychological state from either accidental/purposeful impacts that completely fly in the face of anything close to healthy (habits, not able to work out, bone loss, isolation, neurological degeneration as well as possible organ failure due to malnutrition combined with stress and chemicals the body releases when it is eating muscle tissue at that rate(i mean 7 months did alot of damage) obama 7 months after his swearing in ceremony is the only person i can think of that looked worse after 7 months...ill stop cuz i am not trying to use big words to look cool....they touch upon alot of science and they get alot of it right god damn it. Not everything, but i know a number of phds personally, a few additional engineer and physics geeks 2 of which i know work at nasa, my dad is double phd in alot of brain stuff ( i know wording it like that makes him annoyed) and i have stupid youtube videos ive seen, on 2 different occasions at "comic con" and "sci-fi events" adam savage agreed, although he likes 2001 more but yes martian is accurate. oh yeah, i talked to that one guy i know andy...weir...the author...and closed he talked to a shit load of sciencey and super brain smart academics that know the stuff and tell the rest of all of us why this is thus and why the this-ness is and then also Affected(i know its effect lol sry) by thisthus-ness....if you made it this far, you might be the only one...basically she asked how accurate is the science, is it accurate? Yes, yes it is. Might be one of , if not the most accurate spacey space movie ever. I could have said that right away and only that sentence but like every recipe online I wanted to tell you how potatoes evolved on this planet, before I told you what temp the oven should be...I need a hug and my talk to text technology should be taken away from me... Glad you enjoyed the movie. Thanks for the entire channel and community that now exists (and still growing) because of you and your team willing to sacrifice the time and sometimes your emotional states in order to deliver a quality product. I know I sure appreciate it, and i am very much not alone in this sentiment. Cheers to the channel and its continued success and longevity

And I know, unnecessarily long winded message. My Apologies to community in advance,

And steely eyed missle man is a high honored term now used for achievments made by people at nasa acknowledging what would be considered the 'mvp' of a mission kinda. Badge of honor, comes out of the mercury 7 missions but after the successful return of apollo 13, it became heightened...it is a phrase that is gunna be around for a while I bet.

Such a good movie! I can only add that Mark Watney couldn't grow more potatoes for 2 reasons. The biggest reason is explained more in the book. Mark mixed in some earth soil he had brought with him because it contained bacteria and other minerals that you just can't find in Martian soil or his poo. The second reason is the potatoes he had left had no eyes (what grows new potato plants). You can't just throw any old potato in the dirt and grow new ones. Thanks for thr great reaction!

I must have watched this film at least a dozen times and it makes me laugh and cry every time. If you want to know more I highly recommend the book, it goes into a lot more detail about the problems Watney faces and the science, but keeps it very understandable. Since, like the film, most of the book is made up of 'audio logs' from Watney, it makes a great audiobook too. I heard an interview on the radio which included the author and a guy from NASA, and the question of accuracy of the book came up. The NASA guys said only two things were inaccurate: the storm at the beginning, the atmosphere is not thick enough, but the author knew that and took artistic license to set up the situation. The other thing the NASA guy refused to say, as he needed to have something over the author so he didn't lose his job to him :D Great reaction, it's such a heart warming film, one of my favourite and to me a near perfect film.

+1 for Thirteen Lives (2022) for the Incredible Thai kids story.

I love this film, and I love this end speech to wrap up the theme of the film “This is Space… it does not cooperate. At some point, every thing is going to go south on you. Every thing is going to go south, and you’re gonna say this is it. This is how I end. Now you can either accept that… or you can get to work. That’s all it is. You just begin. You do the math, you solve one problem. Then you solve the next one… and then the next. And if you solve enough problems, you get to come home.” Now read it again and replace “Space” with “Life.” This film is a perfect allegory for Our Life’s Journey, and a guide book to navigate with. Life does not cooperate. Life is going to knock you down, and bring you to your knees. You can either stay there and give up, or you can fight back. Take it one step at a time. Stay calm, don’t get overwhelmed and very importantly… always keep a sense of humor. Laughter is one of the best tools for your journey. It keeps you from getting stuck in the mud, and helps you to stay on your feet and moving forward. There aren’t many newer films, from the past 10 years, that I revisit often, except for three films. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019)… best film of the new millennia. Ready Player One (2019)… for nostalgia overload. The Martian (2015)… for the story, the humor, and the Positive Feels. This really is a near Perfect Film. Thank You for watching this. If you want another awesome and amazing Man vs Nature film, that has some similar themes, then please consider watching… The Flight of the Phoenix (1965)… highly recommended. and if survival in Space is your thing, then check out… Gravity (2013)… for intense edge of your seat thrills for a solid hour and a half. and for some 80s fun… SpaceCamp (1986)… with an ittty bitty Joaquin Phoenix. ;-) and lastly… FYI, Mark Watney was not the first man to be trapped on Mars alone and forced to use his ingenuity to survive. 51 years earlier, there was another. I give you… Robinson Crusoe on Mars (1964)… don’t let the name or my playfulness fool you. It’s actually a pretty good film. :-) PS: If you read this far, then here’s your prize. According to the Extended Edition of The Martian, the unsavory word Mark Watney used in the film, during his first text communication with NASA, that Jeff Daniels’ Teddy had to apologize to the President for, was… Felcher. Google if you must. ;-)

Larry Darrell

Forgot to mention… one of my favorite moments in the film. After Watney carves up Martinez’s Cross, there’s a shot of him looking at the cross, where he says… “By the way, I’m figuring you’re going to be fine with this, given my present situation.” Watney is looking at Jesus on the Cross while delivering the line, but the shot is framed so that his eyeline is also looking at the camera, which is Us the audience. Watney is simultaneously talking to the audience, asking forgiveness from anyone watching that may be offended by him carving up such a sacred item. Pretty cool trick. :-)

Can you react to “In time” with Justin Timberlake, Cillian Murphy, Olivia Wilde. It’s a classic. I think you’ll like it.

Ryan Towell

I love this film. And whats crazy is it won a golden globe for best... Comedy. yep..
