Everything GREAT About The Martian!

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.

Love how Mark just wanted to get off Mars for himself.... The director & writers did not make Mark's reason for living about him wanting to get back to his beautiful wife and kids which is now a stereotype in a lot of films when someone is stranded or stationed far, far away from their family: "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! Mark was just like, "I'm not gonna die on Mars." I want to live. Let's git it done! Respect

[@thegardenofeatin5965]

I think a good part of that is that Mark is a bachelor. In the book at least he mentions missing his mother on occasion or worrying about how his parents are grieving over his situation, but never mentions a wife or girlfriend.

@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.

Dust storms are mainly a threat to solar panels because, well, dust covers the panels which are already not working as well as they would on earth.

[@TacComControl]

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.

[@SamaritanPrime]

You could say that the villain was... a series of unfortunate events?

"The blogs keep him from talking to a volleyball." - Priceless!

[@Numaticin]

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.

[@jimmyeatsom3375]

If this is true, and I can't imagine why it wouldn't be, I just learned something new and interesting. Thanks.

[@Numaticin]

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.

[@jimmyeatsom3375]

Oh I knew all of that, (Oxygen being toxic and the atmospheric composition etc...) I just didn't realise the way the suits worked with backfilling and maintaining pressure. Quite cool.

[@ErzengelDesLichtes]

+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.

[@masterpenguin8472]

[@sidsullivan194]

Also in the book when he gets finally gets onto the Hermes, he says something along the lines of “if this was a movie people would be crowding around for a high five” instead he’s just taken to the medical room. In the film they of course have the high fives

This movie deserves someone making a time machine and going back to the oscars, it should've gotten atleast the one for CGI... Why? Almost all reflections and background on Mars was CGI but it doesn't feel like that in the slightest.

[@zeroforkgiven]

One thing I REALLY liked about the Jeff Daniels character is that he had to have the "10,000 ft view". That little scene when he got off the phone with the Chinese space agency let him show he was rooting for Mark too. He couldn't afford the optimism of his subordinates, he had to be pragmatic.

[@nikolai60]

Well someone in the satellite communication role probably would be a hired specialist with training and agrees, I will point out that most departments in NASA actually treat their interns like full members of the team. 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.

In addition, Venkat was supposed to be indian, not afro-american. No hate on the actor though, he does a GREAT job. It's a small, but very noticable americanization.

[@edengallagher1044]

Sure but this video is about the movie itself so it's not really necessary for him to mention that. Like he might not have read the book

[@maxhydekyle2425]

It feels like a true story movie 30 years before the true story happened.

[@dandfuk]

'Safety second when you forget about safety first' at 1:53 had me in more stitches then some of the actual clips.

[@skylerfisher4347]

I can’t believe that the moment where Mark is brought aboard didn’t receive a win. Matt Damon really nailed the emotional charge of that scene to a point where my mother and I legitimately cried tears of joy for a fake man finally having human contact after hundreds of days of solitude and escaping mars

[@guicaldo7164]

This must be one of my favourite movies of all times. Really amazing! Just... some wins in this video sounded more like sins. Actually, I can imagine cinemasins would have used EXACT THE SAME TEXT at some points, but adding a sin instead of a win.

[@emilycheng6332]

Jaune Arc is your profile pic so I'm obligated to like this comment.

[@pacoramirez7363]

Cinemasins gives sins for things that are actually positives all the time. Like how they sin Back to the Future left and right for foreshadowing even though that's one of the points of the movie and its screenplay has been praised for its use of foreshadowing.

[@guicaldo7164]

@@pacoramirez7363 Yeah I've stopped watching CS a long time ago for that reason... they used to be clever and witty, now they just do low-quality trash-talk. CW is a million times better.

[@susysoutherland98]

That first Win, lol. Just imagining it in the 'Sin voice' and it is the exact same thing

[@saberpat7]

That bit about Shawn Bean getting run over by a golf cart came so put of left field and was hilarious!

Having Sean Bean reference Elrond in a different movie, when he himself was actual there.... sort of.... there.. HE WAS THERE! Was so fantastically satisfying. It brought a big smile to my face.

[@baguettegott3409]

It was great. I wonder how Sean himself felt about it

so many Marvel actors in this movie...

[@theviniso]

Well, at this rate, soon every actor will be a Marvel actor, so that's not really a surprise.

[@W0X42A]

Sean Bean explains the Council of Elrond in The Martian. Sean Bean had the line "Still sharp" in the Fellowship of the Ring, which was between seasons 2 and 3 of Sharpe where he played Richard Sharpe.

[@sealcollom8388]

No win for barrel roll comment? Star Fox meme is always a win.

[@arianameinking688]

I enjoyed this movie immensely. My parents and siblings didn't, if I remember correctly. But I was watching this in the theater, on the edge of my seat. Only part I didn't like was the self surgery part, because I have some slight PTSD from a personal experience. Not nearly as bad as being skewered, as you put it, but it messed with me for a while.

[@polarisukyc1204]

There was a quote I saw on the internet somewhere, I cannot remember where, but it seems relevant. ‘This is a true story, it just hasn’t happened yet’

[@SweetLilWren]

I really like what you are doing with this channel, thanks for all your content. Very enjoyable!

[@PaytonsOwnProductions]

Do Napoleon Dynamite! The critics just didn't get it when it first came out, and even Roger Ebert said that he needed to revisit it.

Everything great about the secret life of Walter mitty

Ideas for vids: Dark Knight, Fight Club, Pulp Fiction, The Departed, Eternal Sunshine, love your content btw, some really original views and look forward to seeing more positive takes on some cinematic classics

Please do a video on Captain America: The Winter Soldier

[@natasaurus5892]

done

I'd love for you to revisit some of your older videos like this one and give them more of a breakdown. So much more to pick out in these movies than you gave time for 🤞

[@KieliShane]

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.

This is one of my favorite movies and seeing it praised so well as it deserves delights me.

[@peakpictures8479]

Your channel has made me fall in love with movies all over again and has made so much more aware of what makes a movie great how how much passion goes into most (not all) but most of the movies made! A few films I’d love to see you win are 1) creed 2) Hellboy either 1 or 2 3) Skyfall

[@davidk1308]

Actually, the space pirate part was in the book, however, the "science the s*** out of this" was not.

[@sepd1110]

Hands down the best movie I’ve watched in school, I really miss my science teacher :(

[@RaeC5280]

I love this movie so much. Thank you for pointing out so many things to enjoy about it! ❤️

[@22Tesla]

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.

[@mustang6172]

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

[@hansolo4267]

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

[@lucromel]

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

[@Raethrean]

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.

[@addison1024]

@@Raethrean Did apollo 1 get mentioned though?

[@r8p6]

I only just realised that there are 3 MCU actors in this movie + the honorary mention of Iron Man in the final rescue scene. I think that deserves a "yup!".

[@peterkerr4019]

Sean Bean died in this movie, too. I mean he did fall on his sword (resign) at the end. a really amazing movie based on an outstanding book.

[@666GREVIOUS]

Bonus points for mentioning Will McAvoy lol

[@seanrichards5912]

Always surprising me with your choices. The Martian was the last film I thought you would've chosen.

[@CinemaWins]

Ya, not a typical one. But current. Gotta throw those in every once in a while. The other option for this week was The Last Witch Hunter. Might come back to that one.

[@seanrichards5912]

CinemaWins I felt so bad for the director of The Last Witch Hunter, because last year I went to New York Comic Con, and they were really going out with promoting this film, I remember seeing banner's, posters, I think it made it on the map guide and screening cover for Comic Con. Still after that promoting and the screening they had there, it didn't do well.

[@john56boy]

Keep it up dude! Great job! Also 2:14, Speaking of dumb and dumber, when's that coming out, I am really anticipating it!

[@chiax5757]

Dumb and Dumber was a movie that came out in 1994. Google it for yourself:)

I have to say that many of your quips in this video are very, very funny. Enjoyed this movie and enjoyed your review a lot!!! Thanks for the laughs. 👍👍🙂😂🤣‼️👏👏👏

[@nathantiffen5158]

6:14 Another meta thing, he mentions Iron-Man while the actor who played Bucky is also there with him.

[@givemebackmykids5061]

I actually had to stop watching the Martian cause I felt sick when he was taking the shrapnel out of his body

[@masterpenguin8472]

You should've looked away from that part then.

[@CynicalBastard47]

Isn't that wild though? A self-surgery scene that realistic wasn't enough to make it go past PG-13, but if they dropped one more f-bomb than it would have gotten a hard R.

[@blazingblue_3039]

In that case you should watch The Walking Dead. It's a great show! I swear there's no blood. Or stabbing. Or spilled guts. Or splattered brains. Or extreme gore. Or people being eaten alive.Yeah,none of that. It's the perfect tv show for you,I swear! Go and watch it now!

[@emmarichardson965]

Same. I tried looking away, and even that didn't help.

[@er6128]

You have to do Sunshine, I love that movie!

[@CinemaWins]

Definitely going to. I'll never understand why it didn't do better. I know the last act is a little different from the rest of the movie, but I still love.

[@er6128]

I'd have to go back and look at the promos, but I bet it was poorly marketed, sold as simple sci-fi when there's so much more depth to it.

[@forgottentaco6098]

I’m surprised this video wasn’t longer I loved this movie so much and also it was filmed in my state Arizona which makes me love the movie even more because I live in the same place my favourite movie was filmed in
