I got lost once in a snowstorm while skiing and they shut down all the elevators because of the wind (110km/h) except for the big one that brought you up from the bottom of the mountain. I had to climb back on top in fucking skiing boots with my skis and poles on my shoulder in 110kmh wind because i went the wrong way and i couldn't get to the middle stop of the main elevator. The ski slopes didn't connect to the very bottom of the mountain so the only way down was the main elevator (it was a big glacier). I was 14 years old and i was absoluetly terrified. At first i didn't know what to do then i just started walking. After roughly 1 hour of walking I got to the top and I just let out the biggest "fuck you ever". The guys in the station were pretty surprised because they thought everyone has already left the slopes and i was compeletely alone. Meanwhile my whole class (it was a school trip) was waiting for me in the bottom, but they just thought i was having a hard time at the toilet or smth. I was literrally fighting for my life up there and these guys thought i had diarrhea. After i first watched this movie I got very emotional. Its really weird how i found this whole situation so relatable. Being left behind alone is really nerve wrecking. Also we were skiing in smaller groups, but when I got separated my friend thought I just already went down beause I had literally the most generic green ski jacket ever.
that ending, the part where mark used his suit to iron man his way to the hermes, that was just about THE MOST kerbal thing i've ever seen (aside from ksp itself)
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.
i remember watching a video that looked at data about if you really could grow plants in the martial soil, and while there are perchlorates, they can be removed, and they don't accumulate that quickly, so even if not healthy, he could totally survive of them
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.
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.
even though it isnt 100% scientifically correct, still one of the best space movies in my opinion.
You can make this a drinking game. Every time the narrator says "eternal rest" instead of "death", you must take a drink.
I can imagine him teaching the students and saying
I like that the first day on earth he already a teacher having a class full of students. He didn’t even a day of rest 😂
I wasn’t expecting much from this film but it is funny, dramatic, and life fulfilling. Instant love to this movie!
"Ok guys, weight is at a premium so are you sure we are going to need 400 rolls of gaffer tape on Mars?"
"The overtime alone will be a nightmare" is one of my favorite movie quotes. 😆 😂 😆

The will to survive in any extreme situation is worth it's weight in uranium. Its an experience to change your thirst for knowledge to ∞
I cannot believe there are people on this planet who have not seen this movie.

A few minutes in, I altered my intention (does that sound right?) and stayed for the entire review/recap. Well presented. Thanks. Thumbs up.
At the end, they all watch the launch of the Ares 5 mission. Ares 4 was cancelled since Mark used the vehicle to leave Mars.
One of my forever favorite movies.! I’ve watched it many times over but I still cry… can’t help my tears.. the emotions it evokes! whoaaa!
