He wouldn’t get much time to relax after that. He had read her file, but had never met her in person. Leaving the pizzeria, he sat on a public bench just outside. He had another half-hour to kill before going back to Johnson Space Center. Watney finished his two slices of pizza and a coke. Would love to hear what you guys think after a second viewing when the bluray is out, I´m gonna give it a second chans for sure.Įdit: And the gym on Hermes! Come on!!! I know you touched on it and Scott really likes his big set pieces but that set took me straight out of the movie. I would tater that they had cut more of the nasa stuff and show more of Wantneys struggle, “Moon” comes to mind as movie with great pacing for really shoving the loneliness of a character. Also, I feel Watney kind of took a second seat in the movie, it was nasa and the crew that did all the work, sure you get a couple of montages of Mark doing “science” and hard work but it´s so rushed that you don’t even feel that hes putting that much effort in to it. Other than the brief look of a really thin Watney I didn’t get any real sense of 18 months going by. So that didn’t bother me too much but the passage of time did (or the lack thereof). I suspected most of the math and science would be left on the floor since it´s a movie and just talking about math for 10 min would be kind of boring. I liked the book and was really stoked for the movie both as an adaptation of a great novel and as a hard sci-fi movie. Inside Out: Did I miss a longer talk about this AWESOME film somewhere? Wouldn’t it be nice if The Martian (movie and book) helped inspire people to pressure their government into raising NASA’s budget in much the same way Neil deGrasse Tyson has been advocating for years now… #DoublIt Do we know for sure that the movie Epilogue doesn’t follow Weirs original? But yeah, to me the Iron Man bit felt really tacked on and silly….Īs for drama left on the table, I’m surprised we did not see Watneys parents, especially while the world is watching the rescue maneuver happen.Įpilogue: Didn’t Weir say there was an Epilogue, but he took it out of the book because he never liked it. I liked having Lewis go out to get Watney! It helped tell a great story between those two characters.
On the subject of realism, I feel like one could very easily “troll” the future, by leaking a cut of The Martian with an opening screen that states “Based On Actual Events”. Not that it seems to impact the story much one way or the other (Or is there a detail I missed?) I’m curious as to why the seemingly arbitrary change in the mission dates….
