They think he’s devastated but I find his behaviour to be realistic. Talking with yourself. joking/entertaining yourself to distract you from the situation. Great survival mechanism
Another important part they cut out in the film, in the book there's a "clip" from the CNN show dedicated to Watney where the mission psychologist explains why he's actually the "best one" of the crew for this ti happen to, both mentally and skill-wise. Honestly, I would love a TV show, or like a LOTR length film where they just adapt the book (the original draft, eith the swearing and all that) word for bloody word. It's honestly one of the greatest SF novels of the last several decades.

I love the part in the book when he starts dropping f-bombs during first Rover communication, and Kapoor cautions him that the whole world knows what he's saying. His response: "Look! A pair of boobs---> (.Y.)"
A cruel call but the right call, given what they knew at that point. The crew in Ares was 10 months away from the nearest source of therapy - and he was right that they'd react poorly, given that they later mutiny in order to force Hermes into a slingshot trajectory, becoming the second mutiny in NASA history.
This specific moment in the book is spectacular, I find it significantly funnier than the movie. Something about how short the journal entry is, just gets me every time
@@TheAero1221 Also "Artemis" by him is great. Its also hard SF but takes place in the first Lunar city. I just got project hail mary now but I'm sure it'll be just as good as the other two. :)
The best scene in the movie was just before this one - when the lowly night tech, viewing the screen, realizes what she is seeing. Again, a lowly night tech saves the day!
I had to laugh at that scene. When she discovers that Watney might still be alive she calls security to get Kapoor's phone number and has to convince them that it is an emergency, when all she really had to do was reply to his email.
Teddy was the Director because he was always ahead of everyone else...while they were still processing Watney being alive, he was calculating the time it would take them to rescue him...
i hate to say it but the director was right, because if they told the crew that could of caused them to do something like try to go back that would of put everyones lives at risk
There is no scenario in which they would go back without any sort of plan first, but they would be so distracted by guilt that they could make some very messy fuckups.
They physically would've been unable to just 'go back'. They need to reach any celestial body first to majorly alter their course without losing speed (with Earth being the closest one) and resupply for the long travel ahead. Their mental state on the other hand would be in shambles because of such news so soon after the tragedy, so it was still a correct call imo.
@@demyanrudenko What I tried and failed to say. Thank you. They literally can't go back without going to earth first. They needed the orbital assist just to turn directions.
I listened to the audiobook, just finished it a few days ago and will watch the movie in full tonight. Seen some clips and they got the funny parts from the book done well of what I seen so far.
Lol used to listen to the audiobook all the time over and over again while washing dishes and my parents restaurant. Good memories I have with the Martian

@@JamesTKirk-cg4hlthe movie was really well made. I haven’t read the book so I won’t say the film is superior, but to say the movie is a joke just doesn’t make sense.
@@verbalkint4258 How can you say that without reading the book lol. I read it much before the movie came out. The book focuses on lots of technical/scientific details of how Watney solves problems under pressure. The movie is extremely simplified and discards 90% of the troubles he goes through and all that feeling of isolation and brain-storming. It's like a crappy summary compared to the book. The Movie isn't bad in itself, but it's not the same experience as the book. Not even close
@@JamesTKirk-cg4hl I’m not saying anything bad about the book, it probably is better than the film but you gotta remember the fact that the story is being displayed on two different mediums. They can’t possibly include all the minute details from the book or get too technical because at the end of the day, the film is meant to garner wider appeal so it makes money at the box office, and it’s also meant to condense the story so that the general gist of the book is displayed in a run time of 2-3 hours. The film to me was very well made and I felt like they explained the scientific reasoning behind most of the ideas fairly well. That’s all I’m saying.
Vincent: Can you imagine what he's going through up there? I mean he's 50 million miles away from home.He thinks he's totally alone.He thinks we gave up on him. What does that do to a man, psychologically?What the hell is he thinking right now? *DISCO MUSIC INTENSIFIES* Mark: I'm definitely gonna die up here, if I have to listen to any more god-awful disco music.
Plot hole I thought of, depending on how often the crew gets emails or time to talk with their families. But the families of the crew would probably say something to them after they found out. Like "Isn't it a miracle your friend Watney is alive, but terrible that he's stuck on Mars by himself?" Unless NASA brings them in and asks them not to say anything.
I am not sure if it was mentioned in the movie, but yes. NASA had been filtering out any references to Watney from all communications sent to the Ares Crew.

I am in agreement with Whatley about the disco music. However. I did have a lot of fun during the disco era. And hearing some of those songs do bring back some fond memories.
I was always put off by Teddy's decision but not warning the crew without more information actually makes sense - the idea that he MIGHT be alive but not certain that he is or isn't would surely stir up the crew.
If NASA sends a manned crew to Mars, one would think that the station NASA has them build on Mars would have an emergency transmitter which can send either an SOS, or a short text message about the astronaut's current situation. The thing about this movie is that Watney had plenty of manuals that he could read in order to make things work in his favor. One would think, at the least, that NASA scientists were thinking both inside as well as outside the box when they were building this habitat on Mars.
The book explains this part, I don't know if the movie does - the MAV is the emergency transmitter. If the MAV breaks, the crew is screwed anyway, so this is a very good design... as long as you don't leave anyone behind. Oops.

The night scene on Mars shows a beacon flashing in through the window. That is a waste of power, but Watney left it on. Can the NASA orbital cameras not see the beacon? Would they think it was running on automatic, despite dusty solar panels and exceeding mission life? Watney could have redone it as a communicator, sending out Morse code.
It would depend on how often the camera took a picture, it's not a video stream if I recall correctly. So he would need to not only know that timing but hope the people at the other end could put it together.
When you have three people behind you that collectively make more taking a dump on a toilet than you do in a whole year, you keep your mouth (mostly) shut. She understood the assignment well.
So, at the beginning of the movie, there's this massive wind storm, stuff blowing all over the place, but at the end, we're told the air is so thin, Watney can simply cover the top of his rocket ship with a tarp. So - is the air thick or thin?
Were anything like the premise for this movie to happen today, I have my doubts about a rescue being attempted. Too many bureaucrats would lose face. I expect they'd stay silent and leave him for dead and hope like hell nobody would leak.
The main problem never mentioned in the story is the gravity difference. On Mars, you'd be less than half your weight as on earth. 100 lbs on Earth is only 38 lbs on Mars.
Matt Damon is a great actor but, for the love of God, we need to keep his unlucky ass here on Earth. Consider the Billions spent rescuing him from the other end of a wormhole (Interstellar) and from Mars (The Martian). Matt, stay home. You're getting to be expensive. :-)
The book is so much better. I know they "had to" cut some stuff out but honestly Teddy should mention how he's going to visit whatneys parents to tell them. Most of all, whitewashing aside, I hate how little there is of Mindy, her character growth and wit are superb in the book. Same for Annie (sans the whitewashing)
I read the book twice, in two different languages, and I watched the movies more than a 100 times by now. The book isn't _so much better._ It was a great book and this is a great movie adaptation. Some things are a bit different, but they captured the spirit perfectly. Stop with elitism and gatekeeping already.
@@sandar9614 Eh. They clearly felt the audience would lose interest in the second half. So they made it more about the people back home. And reduced a lot of the second half to a few scenes where's making a joke or montage to an 80s song. And I hated who they got for Vincent. Especially how he kept reading out loud. Ugh. Like the audience is too dumb to read or follow along. It's a good movie. But I prefer the book hands down.
RE whitewashing... When I read the book, Mindy Park came across as Korean, perhaps Korean-American. With all due respect to Mackenzie Davis - who nevertheless brought the character to life in the movie - I still wanted it that way. Then again, maybe the director thought that having Benedict Wong, Chen Shu and Eddy Ko in the cast (not to mention Donald Glover and Chiwetel Ejiofor) called out for some more stereotypical Anglo actors...
What's he thinking? Pretend that there is no God. Don't ask me how the brain would develop such imagery to calm fear down in the face of such great dangers without dying in so many dead ends during its development.
I just realized something. So I hope someone can explain this to me. I understand the science behind of creating water in order to grow the potatoes. But can someone explain why he didn't use the water that he uses every night to take a shower.
I haven't read the book so I can't be sure but I suspect the water they use for showering, the toilet, etc is part of a closed loop to prevent as much waste as possible which would mean it either being filtered or 'cleaned' using chemicals making it unusable for watering plants.
Please read the book, it is VASTLY superior to the movie. In action, and humor. He does some math and determines the amount of water each cubic foot of soil needs. Mars does not have the water in its' soil. He simply does not have excessive water.
Google the water bill of your local produce farm, and compare it to your own household water bill. Now think about how many times you’ve had to go to IKEA/furniture shops to furnish your own home. I.e. a single launch can only carry a tiny fraction of the supplies needed for such a complex mission.
Simple answer: he needed a LOT more water than a quick shower would hold. In the navy, you shower by taking 30 seconds to wet up,turn the water off while you soap, then rinse off. Space would be the same, assuming they even HAVE a shower, which is not a certainty.
God I hate the cuts. Incredible movie, incredible it was made at all, miserable awful tiktok "cut once a second to get reaction shots from everyone in the scene" editing.
Like most movies developed from a book, the book is much better but it was a good movie. The whole music thing doesn't make any sense. You have 6 people that have all their personal belongings in the hab including a laptop for each and probably some other types of digital storage. They probably would send every movie and song known to man on this trip because what artist wouldn't want their creation experienced on Mars and digital storage weighs almost nothing even in 2024.. We are supposed to believe that the only music he could find is one disco artist? They needed to find a way to destroy most of the computing equipment to make this believable. Details matter when you are making a science based movie.
Mostly it would take time for him to make the words or the possibility of it being blown away by wind but when he discovered pathfinder was the much better option.
This is actually somewhat explained. The only reason they even took an image of the landing site was to check whether the mission equipment was salvageable, so they could launch another mission with less funding. But other than that they did not have any reason to photograph the landing site, so Watney likely thought he was better off figuring something else out. And besides, that would have been a one way communication, as NASA would have had no way to respond.
@@jemandindentiefendesintern3096 IRL they probably would have been monitoring the site to see what was happening to the equipment on a long term basis. As we learned in the movie a satellite went over the site every so often so Watney could have simply put out a "HELP" sign. This would have alerted NASA that he was alive. Of course in the meantime Watney could have been doing other things to contact NASA.
@@lovell8983 In the video NASA can plainly see the solar panels. Write a giant 20 foot 'W'. That would probably be a big enough hint for NASA that he's alive.
They think he’s devastated but I find his behaviour to be realistic. Talking with yourself. joking/entertaining yourself to distract you from the situation. Great survival mechanism
Honestly, only way someone would survive this imo. Stay positive. It helps an unbelievable amount.
Shit, I spend so much time alone these days I already do that kind of thing.

The book had a better cutaway to Watney.

It always bothers me how her response at 0:52 is to a different topic to what they were currently talking about.
oh i have to re re re re re re re watch this movie right now.....
I never seen Kristen wiig so serious in a movie 😂.
when they realise Mark isnt dead:
ON A LONELY PLANET SLOWLY SPINNING HIS WAY TO DAMNATION…
"I am definitely gonna die up here, if I have to listen to any more of Commander Lewis's god-awful disco music."
Hate when people say oh dont tell them or him or her, makes people more angry and bitter
Home Alone in outer space.
The funniest movie of 2015...acc to some people
Matt Damon is a great actor but, for the love of God, we need to keep his unlucky ass here on Earth. Consider the Billions spent rescuing him from the other end of a wormhole (Interstellar) and from Mars (The Martian). Matt, stay home. You're getting to be expensive. :-)
You forgot Saving Private Ryan
What's the music at 1:23 till 1:40
Kool & The Gang could potentially kill astronauts on Mars in the near future! 🎤🎸🚀
The book is so much better. I know they "had to" cut some stuff out but honestly Teddy should mention how he's going to visit whatneys parents to tell them. Most of all, whitewashing aside, I hate how little there is of Mindy, her character growth and wit are superb in the book. Same for Annie (sans the whitewashing)
I read the book twice, in two different languages, and I watched the movies more than a 100 times by now. The book isn't _so much better._ It was a great book and this is a great movie adaptation. Some things are a bit different, but they captured the spirit perfectly. Stop with elitism and gatekeeping already.
Only racists obsess over race.
I never got the point of comparing books to movies. Just let them be separate interpretations of a story lol
@@sandar9614 Eh. They clearly felt the audience would lose interest in the second half. So they made it more about the people back home. And reduced a lot of the second half to a few scenes where's making a joke or montage to an 80s song. And I hated who they got for Vincent. Especially how he kept reading out loud. Ugh. Like the audience is too dumb to read or follow along. It's a good movie. But I prefer the book hands down.
RE whitewashing... When I read the book, Mindy Park came across as Korean, perhaps Korean-American. With all due respect to Mackenzie Davis - who nevertheless brought the character to life in the movie - I still wanted it that way. Then again, maybe the director thought that having Benedict Wong, Chen Shu and Eddy Ko in the cast (not to mention Donald Glover and Chiwetel Ejiofor) called out for some more stereotypical Anglo actors...
He's right about the disco!
Disco music is great, so was the 70's and 80s :)
@@stevesgaming7475 No, disco sucked. The 70s and 80s just like the 2010s and 2020s had it's share of ups and downs.
Ahem…
Never underestimate the power of sociopaths' ability to replace duty, honor, and any decency or comptency with PR.
I think the PR goes away in April when it gets warmer. Easter looking good.
McKenzie Davies looked so nice here.
Yes! But give me the other one first. She looks sweet
What a film.
Please enjoy the book.
Jason Bourne can't die
No, this is not when NASA found out.
No 1 plays an AH like Jeff Daniels!!
Kristen Wiig plays a lot of different roles.
Mars looks like a bocci ball
Song ? 1:44
Turn the Beat Around
@@jerradwilson gracias 👍
All he has to do is conquer Shai Hulud and drink the water of life. Then he can fold space and go home.
“That Astronaut we killed”??
Bad writing. Should have said “That Astronaut that was killed.”
Book had the mission getting aborted on sol 6. How did Lewis move it on sol 17? I wish movies did a better job of following the books.
Awesome movie!
It´s a stupid rule to Mars expeditions to allows only the commander to bring music to the planet. I wonder if a commander are a K-pop fan.
What's he thinking? Pretend that there is no God. Don't ask me how the brain would develop such imagery to calm fear down in the face of such great dangers without dying in so many dead ends during its development.
Does she know that she will be made like hightech cyborg and be sent to the past to save Sarah Connor?
All they had to do was call Elon…
I just realized something. So I hope someone can explain this to me. I understand the science behind of creating water in order to grow the potatoes. But can someone explain why he didn't use the water that he uses every night to take a shower.
I haven't read the book so I can't be sure but I suspect the water they use for showering, the toilet, etc is part of a closed loop to prevent as much waste as possible which would mean it either being filtered or 'cleaned' using chemicals making it unusable for watering plants.
Please read the book, it is VASTLY superior to the movie. In action, and humor.
He does some math and determines the amount of water each cubic foot of soil needs. Mars does not have the water in its' soil.
He simply does not have excessive water.
They shipped a small Ikea showroom to Mars using chemical launch technology, and you're worried about water availability and conservation...
Google the water bill of your local produce farm, and compare it to your own household water bill. Now think about how many times you’ve had to go to IKEA/furniture shops to furnish your own home. I.e. a single launch can only carry a tiny fraction of the supplies needed for such a complex mission.
Simple answer: he needed a LOT more water than a quick shower would hold. In the navy, you shower by taking 30 seconds to wet up,turn the water off while you soap, then rinse off. Space would be the same, assuming they even HAVE a shower, which is not a certainty.
I like how they have perfect hair, makeup, eyes at 2:30 AM

When life gives you lemons, What Would Mark Watney Do?
science the sh#t out of this?
Why couldn't I wake up away from them and far awY from my family who caused me traumA
Great movie
"how can you not tell them?" - because the plot needs conflict.
God I hate the cuts. Incredible movie, incredible it was made at all, miserable awful tiktok "cut once a second to get reaction shots from everyone in the scene" editing.
_Sincerely, NASA...._ 😅
Mindy Park
I can't overstate enough how much I fucking hate the dialogue in this movie
Like most movies developed from a book, the book is much better but it was a good movie. The whole music thing doesn't make any sense. You have 6 people that have all their personal belongings in the hab including a laptop for each and probably some other types of digital storage. They probably would send every movie and song known to man on this trip because what artist wouldn't want their creation experienced on Mars and digital storage weighs almost nothing even in 2024.. We are supposed to believe that the only music he could find is one disco artist? They needed to find a way to destroy most of the computing equipment to make this believable. Details matter when you are making a science based movie.
NASA public statement " We screwed up!"

Watney must have known there was a satellite in orbit watching the Martian camp. Why didn't he just write in the Martian soil he was alive?
Mostly it would take time for him to make the words or the possibility of it being blown away by wind but when he discovered pathfinder was the much better option.
This is actually somewhat explained. The only reason they even took an image of the landing site was to check whether the mission equipment was salvageable, so they could launch another mission with less funding.
But other than that they did not have any reason to photograph the landing site, so Watney likely thought he was better off figuring something else out. And besides, that would have been a one way communication, as NASA would have had no way to respond.
@@jemandindentiefendesintern3096 IRL they probably would have been monitoring the site to see what was happening to the equipment on a long term basis.
As we learned in the movie a satellite went over the site every so often so Watney could have simply put out a "HELP" sign. This would have alerted NASA that he was alive. Of course in the meantime Watney could have been doing other things to contact NASA.
lmao are your for real? Looks at the resolution. Good luck writing a big enough message on the soil so that the satellite can pick it up.
@@lovell8983 In the video NASA can plainly see the solar panels. Write a giant 20 foot 'W'. That would probably be a big enough hint for NASA that he's alive.
