It was really well-made but yeah it's little more than a feature-length advertisement for STEM.

Jessica Chastain was hot as the Captain though. Then again she's hot period.

The book was pretty cool. The movie helped me realize that the journal the guy was creating was a video journal and not a written one, which made more sense since the guy spent a lot of time cussing at himself

I like the part where the Martian cuts his wings off because he was a poor trying to get off of Earth to find out who he really was because he was banging Scotty's gf.

This movie ruined Jessica Chastain for me. Every time I see her I think of Matt Damon talking about her big dumps.

The average is 5.5? I thought it was 4. This is very unsettling.

quote:

Mars is famous for its large, planet-wide dust storms. Mars has an atmosphere which is much thinner than the atmosphere on Earth, but which still creates winds. When these winds pick up the fine, dry particles of dust on Mars, a dust storm can occur. Most dust storms cover an area for a few days and carry small particles of dust at speeds of 33 to 66 miles per hour. Sometimes, though rarely, dust storms on Mars can be fierce enough to cover the entire planet in a dusty haze for weeks.

Oh yeah I forgot about this, that really disappointed me, because up to that point I felt like it had been pretty true to the book. I'm changing my stance to agree with OP

quote:

But the wind, even at 60 mph (97 km/hr), would seem more like a breeze, because the density of Martian air is only 1 percent that of Earth. With an understanding that wind force is a function of atmospheric density as well as velocity, calculations show the speed of a 60-mph storm on Mars would feel more like 6 mph (9.6 km/hr)
