The fact that Dasha immediately understood the Elrond reference _and_ the Boromir connection AND said "One does not simply walk into Mordor" makes me sooo happy and impressed. 😁

[@stanmann356]

I always thought the "secret council" scene should have been extended. After the director claimed the codename of Glorfindel, everyone else in the room should have started making choices, then at the end Sean Bean should have muttered something like "I guess I'll have to be Boromir".

[@MagetaTheLionHeart]

Hell yeah. Always cool to see a nerdy beauty queen, something I didn't think existed as a teen.

[@linusromey561]

I love watching her reactions because I know that Dasha will always catch the details, that and of course she is beautiful.

[@richardmead5969]

missed that, thought elron refered to L Ron hubbard. a sci fi writer who founded a scifi religion

[@seannovack3834]

So many other reactors don't catch that detail. I should have known that Dasha would!

[@PaulArk]

That the head of NASA Teddy asked for his code name to be Glorfindel at the secret Elrond meeting is also a notable geek moment. Glorfindel is a reference to a Rings character that wasn't in the movies but was in the books, showing that Teddy wasn't just a pencil-pushing administrator, but that he also had serious nerd credential

[@willesnille]

Yup. He did the stuff that Arwen does in the first movie. He was also the one who prophecised that the witch king wouldn't be killed by a man which was interpreted as unkillable/can't be killed by a man. Also killed one of the seven balrogs.

[@bigdream_dreambig]

FYI, "hexadecimal" is a number format that's a denser alternative to our typical decimal system. Decimal is base 10, which means a single position encodes 10 possible digits (0 through 9) before you need to add another position (giving you 10). Hexadecimal is base 16, adding 6 more possible digits that we typically write as A through F. In decimal, you count "8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16" but in hexadecimal you count "8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F, 10" -- so "10" in hexadecimal refers to the same number of items as "16" in decimal. Computer programmers often use hexadecimal because it's a more efficient use of computers' innate processing. An "ASCII table" is a standardized table that associates each character (like Y, a, or %) with a hexadecimal number.

[@logandarklighter]

Best related quote from the movie version: "I know where he's going with this." Why? Because I said damn near the exact same thing a split second before the mission specialist (Tim, I think) said it when I was watching this in the theater! ^_^

[@ChrisEly]

It's more useful for computer science because 16 is a power of 2, which 10 is not. Computers mostly still only have 0 or 1, at the lowest level. Doing base conversion math is work that can be avoided when the base is a power of 2. You will often see base2, base8, base16, and even base64 math used instead of the base10 system that's used in other sciences.

[@Rastafaustian]

This is 99.9% scientifically accurate. The only thing that is inaccurate is the storm at the beginning. Mars' atmosphere is far too thin for anything even close to that powerful.

[@ghyslainabel]

The 'Iron Man' sequence is also inaccurate. With only a cut on the hand, far from Mark's centre of gravity, Mark really could not go in a strait line, he should have spin. I am sure there are other minor inaccuracies in the movie, I just do not know them. But you are right by saying the movie highly scientifically accurate. At least 95%, probably 98+% accurate.

[@trygswyrmwoodside3229]

They never portray gravity realistically indoors. Outside they hand-wave it away by saying the bulky suit is making him move awkward, or he's sitting while he's driving. But when he is just walking around it's just using Earth gravity.

[@davidbourhenne8540]

A 100 mph wind would feel like a light breeze due to the less dense atmosphere. It would take much more to tip over the vehicle than what was portrayed. Otherwise, the movie was awesome.

[@dracoargentum9783]

Yeah, but a dust cloud tickling your faceplate isn't scary...

"...living on the planet there with no food but potatoes, this is totally a Russian style survival..." I nearly peed myself laughing on this :) If I were Watney, I'd be sorely tempted to sacrifice a potato ration to make vodka

[@servantofmelian9966]

A diet of NOTHING but potatoes, even with some hot sauce at first, might very well drive me mad. Still, it beats the alternative.

[@UltimateBreloom]

Couldn't have, I don't think. You at least need yeast which is unlikely. You also need an enzyme to break down the starch into sugars the yeast can digest. You could malt the potatoes, but you would run through a lot of potatoes. Anyway in the movie at least he has grape juice, which would be a far easier way of making alcohol.

[@deadcatthinks6725]

Irish reactors to this movie see the potatoes and ask "what are they?"

Hello Dasha! As to the characters played by Sebastian Stan and Kate Mara, the kiss had a bigger meaning. There is a cut scene where Jessica Chastain, the mission commander, finds out Michael Pena, the pilot, has been sleeping in the corridor as his room's temperature control has malfunctioned. During breakfast the next day, he tell Michael Pena to sleep in Sebastian Stan's room as Sebastian Stan rarely uses it. She then turns to Kate Mara and Stan, "You thought i didn't know what you two were doing? I'm Mission Commander. I know everything."

[@Pandaemoni]

29:00 In the book, when the crew made the decision to return to Mars, one of the things that could go wrong that they had to think about is what would happen if the resupply mission from Earth should fail. In that case, the Hermes STILL would have to go to Mars, but without enough food to feed everyone. The plan in that event was for the crew (other than Johanssen, the smallest of the crew) to commit suicide so that Johannsen could preserve and eat them to survive. Barring that, they would all die. After the resupply mission was a success the crew teased Johannsen about it.

[@PamJernigan]

"What? I thought you liked Mexican!"

[@watsonsd1]

I'm SO impressed that not only did you immediately recognize the name Elrond, but you immediately made the connection that Sean Bean was Boromir. I named my daughter, visible in my profile pick, Eowyn, if that means anything to you.

[@jeremyfrost2636]

@AB There's a beautiful actress named Sean Young. Anyone naming their daughter Sean could always say she's named after her, if pressed. 😂

[@joaopauloadlergomesdacosta282]

11:27: "For each problem, he finds a solution." This. This could easily be the resume of the film. For each of the problems that either Mark or the crew got, they eventually found a solution. 13:50: Mark is recovering the robot lander 'Mars Pathfinder'. It was a real-life NASA mission, from 1997, and consisted on a lander and a robot. It worked for around 3 months, before the (possibly) battery failed to charge (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Pathfinder)

[@artao5]

Pathfinder (aka Mars Pathfinder) is a NASA mission from 1997. It had the first rover to operate on Mars, Sojourner. It was a cute little thing. To land it they LITERALLY bounced it with huge balloons. Incredible. Then they used that same thing for Spirit and Opportunity. Pathfinder and Sojourner were test beds for various technologies.

[@LeeMaitland]

I remember as a kid I watched this live, it was one of the events that first inspired me to be an engineer. Watching the videos of how it would bounce and flip open, then seeing the little rover on the Martian surface, it was amazing.

[@illasbonez1708]

The fact you understand phrases like "intercept velocity" and whatever else is actually amazing. You speak better english than most of the people I know.

[@1938superman]

One of the things I like the most about your reaction videos is that you don't miss the emotional gravity of a single one of these moments. Moments that I see other reactors disregard or ignore. You are incredibly good at highlighting the emotional importance of these moments. And this was another great one. Nicely done.

[@hurricane1951]

"Gravity" would be a good follow up.

[@technopirate304]

There is a sci-fi book and tv series called The Expanse. It takes place throughout our solar system in the future about 200 years. The original writers of the series love this movie so much they actually retconned it into the show’s canonical past. In one of the episodes a Martian ship called The Watney appears. So the Mars colonies displayed on the show exist in the same fictional universe as this movie. FYI - The Expanse would be a great series for you to react to. It begins its last season in December 2021.

[@metalfan9000]

YES!! I said it before, I highly recommend you react to The Expanse!!

[@technopirate304]

As a science buff I love this movie for so many instances of scientific accuracy. As an MCU fan it’s hilarious how many Marvel movie stars are in this movie. It made me wonder did the casting director of this film know someone at Marvel Studios. LOL.

[@technopirate304]

@19:05, The commander and 2nd in command of the Hermes mission are military officers. Being told that they left a comrade behind would hit them even harder. That is part of the code and bond among soldiers - don’t leave anyone behind. Even if all you can do is bring the body of a comrade home you try.

[@Smokie_666]

You really seemed to enjoy the movie, so I would recommend reading the book which is even better and has even more challenges for Watney to overcome. Also, if you really want to know what Watney said when they told him to watch his language, it's in the book as well!

[@nicksouthwell9393]

The movie did a great job of telling the story in 2 hours. But the book is even soooooo much better. The movie showed how hard it is to survive on mars. The book gave a feel like mars was a living being and it wanted to fucking kill mark wantney.

[@RobinHood3000]

Respectfully, I think I preferred the movie over the book, just in terms of tone and feel; I think the movie lets us grapple with emotional beats in a way that the book often undercuts with humor. Just personal preference. I enjoyed both quite a lot In any case, I completely agree with you that as an adaptation, it's incredibly well-done

[@antarfodoh]

I'm so happy you're watching this! A bunch of us consider this part of an informal trilogy with "Apollo 13" and "Castaway".

[@scottstevens7639]

This movie is great for many reasons. Foremost it proves that you don’t need a human antagonist (the only antagonist is Mars itself) to tell an engaging and entertaining story. And you don’t even have to stray that far from scientific accuracy to do so.

[@ghyslainabel]

Mars and Mark's stupidity are trying to kill him. Taken directly from the book.

[@bigdream_dreambig]

The basic types of conflict in storytelling are often classified as Man vs. Man, Man vs. Self, and Man vs. Nature. (Man vs. Society might be included too, but this can also be thought of as just a different type of Man vs. Man.) In the Martian, we see mostly Man vs. Nature.

[@technopirate304]

No matter how many times I watch this movie at home or KZbin, I tear up towards the end. Great message by never giving up and working together humans can solve any problem. Then to see the US and China exploring Mars together it’s me in the feels.

Your reactions to this movie covered the entire emotional spectrum, which is why I enjoy your channel so much. Great reaction video Dasha!!! Keep it going!!!

[@gerstelb]

You skipped the part where the Ares crew calls Rich Parnell “a steely-eyed missile man,” which (as I mentioned in my Apollo 13 comment) is a genuine high compliment coined for the man who saved the Apollo 12 mission when the craft was struck by lightning during launch. If you’re into space sci-fi drama, I would also recommend Gravity with Sandra Bullock and George Clooney.

[@logandarklighter]

The phrase "steely-eyed missile man" wasn't specifically coined for John Aaron (btw - just typing in "SCE to AUX" in a search engine instantly calls up his name. Heh. ) it came from earlier in NASA's history - possibly back to the days of the testing of captured V2 rocket tech in White Sands New Mexico back when NASA was actually NACA. But EECOM John Aaron most certainly DESERVED the high compliment!! And in a situation like the one in the movie - so would a theoretical Rich Parnell. An equivalent modern term for comparison might be "coming in clutch with the save". ^_^

[@logandarklighter]

Gravity certainly LOOKS real and is absolutely gorgeous. But if you know anything at all about orbital mechanics - you'll quickly realize that it's WILDLY wrong about the way orbits work. Still worth viewing. Just with that caveat.

[@gerstelb]

@@logandarklighter Whenever I do a search for that term, he’s the person that comes up, so if it wasn’t invented for him, it may have only become popular after him.

The airlock failed because it was never built to go through so many cycles. The base was only supposed to be occupied for a month, not years.

[@logandarklighter]

In the book, there was also an explanation that the Hab has three different airlocks (which you can still see in the movie) but that the one that failed was overstressed additionally by Mark using it more than the others since it was the one closest to where Pathfinder and the Rover were parked. After the accident and when he re-inflates the hab, NASA instructs him to alternate his airlock usage between the other two remaining airlocks so as not to put undo stress on another one.

One scientific omission is the presence of perchlorates in Martian regolith (not "soil" since it contains no appreciable organic matter). These perchlorates would render any foodstuffs grown in them toxic. However, if Watney had produced a great deal more water he could have rinsed the perchlorates out of the dirt and then it would be suitable for fertilization and planting.

Also that final "modification" to the lander with the canvas placed over the top is not realistic, as any movement and change of shape of that canvas would change the trajectory of the movement, resulting in his final position being way off.

Regarding the beginning and him sewing himself; when one is faced with true life or death it is amazing how much the instinct and pure will to live takes over and pushes you to that end. Unmistakable,and inexorable will.

The Martian is one of my favorite movies

Great film, great cast, even greater reaction Dasha ... You have such a talent for this ... I know you don't often reply to comments but I'd love to know what you are studying at college / university.

30:10 in the video: The song is so perfect, "David Bowie - Starman"

Mordo from Dr Strange is in this too. And yes Boromir! haha good job!

[@claytonhaag6931]

Hope, that's what they keep giving us. Also they keep taking it away. Which is why this is so anxiety filled. Great reaction!

I know this is late but "ask key" (ASCII, American Standard Code for Information Interchange) was used for data communication. Still is, actually, although it has largely been superseded by Unicode. As implied by the "American" part of the name ASCII could only represent letters in the Latin alphabet. Unicode can represent letters in many alphabets. Including Cyrillic.

Great reaction, I recommend you react to the films October Sky and Hidden Figures. Both are great films about space and based on true events!

I don't remember the entire story behind it, but in the original version of The Martian the Chinese Space Agency played a much smaller role but in order to better market the film to a Chinese audience the story was changed to have them play a major part in saving Watney.

It’s actually pretty close to what’s written in the book, I don’t think anything was added to the movie script that wasn’t there other than actually seeing a taikonaut on Ares 5. That deal was discussed, but the book ends as soon as Mark leaves Martian orbit. The rationale was they were the only other space agency who could have provided a big enough booster to get the probe to Mars. Nowadays, it would be SpaceX or a similar privatized company, but they didn’t exist at the time.

Hi Dasha, I'm glad that you are seeing and reacting to this film. I thought I'd answer some of your questions about this story. First of all, you asked about sols. A sol is a Martian day. Because Mars is further away from the sun it's longer than it is on the Earth. Each day, or sol is about 24 hours and 39 minutes in length. So, a Martian year is 687 days. Pathfinder was a probe launched in 1996 and landed on Mars July 4th., 1997. It collected data via a small rover called Sojourner and transmitted it through a solar powered communications array back to the Jet Propulsion Labotory in Pasadena, California. Next, let's talk about the miracle of duct tape. On Mars the average temperature is a chilly negative 87 degrees. The atmosphere is 95% carbon dioxide, and the pressure is a low 6 millibars. Plus, the gravity is.38 of one gee. You do not want your helmet to leak. My final thought is to read the book. Andy Weir is a wonderful author, and his book explains a lot more about it then they could in the movie.

15:20 ASCII Table ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. Computers can only understand numbers, so an ASCII code is the numerical representation of a character such as 'a' or '@' or an action of some sort.

Funny thing is the Lord of the Rings reference was already in the book. Boromir being in the movie was just a happy accident...

ASCII. Pronounced az kee. American Standard Code for Information Interchange. A standard to transmit English alphanumeric data digitally. It established a standard to equate 7 bit binary to the english alphabet. The 8th bit was used for error detection via parity. It is still in use and a worldwide computer standard. There is likely something similar for the Cyrillic alphabet.

The best line in the whole movie is is when Mark says "hang on you guys are building a bomb without me "
