He did rest because between filming the movie they do sleep & rest for days. When he arrived at earth, the film script was made for him to not have a break.
the movie itself, i can't say for sure, but the book it is based on was as scientifically accurate as can be at the time the book released. The info on mars, and the tech availabe at the time, was all plausible. Sure it's a stretch, but that doesn't mean it was incorrect. BTW the author also came form a family of scientists, and he had connections to experts and people relative to the topics. He tried to get as much verified, before putting it into his book.
The movie cost as much to send an actual mission to mars. A real televised mission to mars will make a 100x return-no actors needed, just scientists. We are not producing enough high level scientists.

Isaac Asimov talked extensively about terra forming and I worked on the ideas as well in which we got to share intel. As for potatoes, the soil would need to be acidic to produce the best possible potatoes. Lettuce would help fix the acids into the soil and thus would be the two best possible foods to grow there with minimal amount of resources. The lettuce would have to be the leaf variety as it requires the least amount of water compaired to head varieties. Recycle the left over plant material into the soil having been composted with the human waste and you have a minimal least expensive method of food production. BUT, here is what I've tried to suggest the Musk of space x and that is automated robots to go first to the asteroid belt and grab the large chunks of ice debris to take to mars as a water resource, use an atomic engine to move Phobos out a bit and to also use an atomic magnetic wave generator to establish a magnetic field around mars so it can actually hold an atmosphere. Basically reboot mars to an earth type sustainable planet, again. See, both Isaac and I think that mars was one a living planet not unlike our earth.
One problem is that the core of Mars has cooled and cannot contribute heat to the mantle of Mars like with the molten core of Earth, which also induces our radiation protection from our magnetic field.@@sonofeloah
Growing mushrooms with Martian soil as a sterile medium could be easily done with manure as a source of nutrients. I think this movie explored the growth of plants on Mars in a great way.
@@raven4k998 lmao its a movie, if this were to happen in real life our governments would try to cover it up, and just say you died. Way too much money, and effort to come get you.

I remember watching this in Boston, I walked in late, and the whole theater was full. I had to grab some unwanted seats, but this movie was worth it. Funny, emotional, nerve-racking.
Question for science folks. The atmosphere on mars is SO thin, would a "big storm" really have that much of an effect on you? Super fast winds wouldn't even knock you over if the air pressure is 1/100th what we have on earth, would it?
IIRC even the writer admits that it definitely wouldn't work like that (a raging storm on Mars would feel like a breeze compared to Earth standards) but it's something they had to go with otherwise the whole plot wouldn't have happened. Still a great story though and most of it is scientifically accurate when compared to most other sci-fi.
the sequence of events in this flick are, for the layman, very believable. mark has to continually adapt. but the human spirit and the american drive is strong in this one.
American drive.....ffs! Where's the American drive when it comes to looking after your poor, sick, unhoused, minorities and poorly educated. They are being driven over.
I would say it be nice to see some other countries landing on planets in movies, but it'd be unrealistic since only America has actually landed people on anything. Maybe if the movie is set after 2100.
I have read the book several times, and saw the movie just as many. The movie does the book justice, but there are several liberties that the movie takes that aren't in the book. Mostly because of time constraint. Read the book first before watching the movie. You will not be disappointed. But if you watch the movie first, you'll love the book because it's more in-depth.
One of the best space/Mars movies ever made in my opinion but I'm basing that off the science infused into the movie because I love learning about that stuff regardless of unrealistic loop holes on the movie.
What I didn't like is the character Rich acts like he came up with this brilliant idea that no one else could have thought of. The Slingshot maneuver is a concept that's been around for decades. Every scientist that does space-related work is familiar with it.
The surgery reminds of one Soviet guy in the Antartic and not only he's the only qualified surgeon at the station, he's also the only person at the station.
the plants didn't burn they froze and it was the 5 that ended up launching not the 4 at the end since the 4 MAV was used to rescue mark they had to skip that one and go to 5 but you were pretty close
@@jasmith1867 In the novel, CNSA did offer the Taiyang Shin booster for Iris 2 at the expense of an interplanetary probe of theirs, in exchange for putting a Chinese Taikonaut on Mars with a future Ares mission. NASA agreed because they didn't have any other boosters powerful enough on short notice. I don't think there was anything in particular that was added in the movie.
That "first day back on Earth" I don't think represented his literal first day back. I think he will have had many months of rehabilitation and going on a press tour, being interviewed on talk shows, and then once the hype died down, he accepts the job at NASA as being part of the candidate program.
I enjoyed this movie. You gotta give it to Matt Damon who survived the explosion in Interstellar (2014) and got rehired by NASA to join the Martian exploration. 😂
Really appreciate you going into more detail in your recap. You didn't have to explain certain details (like the Council of Elrond), but definitley helps paint the picture. I love this movie and watch it every time I see come on cable!

Correction it's not his first day back on Earth it's at least 9 months because his shipmate just had a baby and they had put together another mission. It was his first day teaching at the University.
Honestly loosing a entire crew in space is at least easier to get to then a person on Mars cause simply cause you don't have to land and etc on a planet and all that not only that you don't know exactly where they'd be so if there out side you'd have to excavate like a entire planet just to find a single body sure you'd find a crap ton of other stuff but at least you'd be able to get someone's family member back to the same planet they are on and honestly we really could use other planets for alot of things
First you could never find a crew lost in space so no that’s wrong. Second what stuff do you think they’ll find when excavating Mars. A deck of cards, a car rofl?
This was an okay movie to me, primary because I read the book and flet that the move made an injustice to the sourse material by prostrating that the protagonist was a botanist first and then an engineer when it was a complete opposite in the book.
