I guess it's a good movie if you like science/engineering but as a sci-fi movie it's sort of weak.

sunshine sucked until captain sunburn showed up and killed the annoying icarus crew. The only mistake is cilian murphy didn't get blown out into space and have his eyes bug out of his skull like total recall. Possibly improved even further by a final bullet-time gun-fu match between captain america and captain sunburn.

Moon is also way loving better and has real consequences for our dear heroes rather than sciencing up some hashbrowns. Sunshine is awesome, the gearshift when it turns to horror genre is jarring but I, as an Event Horizon fan, didn't think it was entirely out of place.

Sunshine ruled and the story needed something to get in the way of their Nuke the Sun plan in the final act, sun-crazy killer was a good choice. It was also phenomenally slick that sun-crazy man distorted the picture every time he's on screen, like he's that far disfigured by the sun as to be incomprehensible.

FogHelmut posted:The book was okay but the Matt Damon guy was all purplemonkeydishwasher humor the whole time and I'll just go read Deadpool comics if I want that poo poo. lol all that poo poo was ripped from the book in fact, the movie cut out junk like "Pirate ninjas" or whatever it was from the book.

the book was bad because it was written by a STEMlord as a series of bad blog posts, then mashed into a bad book solaris owns (either version)

It was pretty harmless sci-fi and getting wound up over Martian wind is dumb. It's like complaining that gravity (the film) makes no sense because the orbits are way too different and there's not enough delta-v. Yes, but the movie sucks and is boring without it.

i didn't see it so much as "engineering science nerd" wank. i saw i more like an episode of survivorman, but on mars. surviving and adapting to different environments is one of the things that humans are very good at

How is it that a wall blew out of his Martian space hovel and he replaced it with a plastic sheet and duct tape?

Moon is an instant classic which will always be one of my top favs. Prometheus is very pretty poop from a butt.

The book was really good, and it's the only reason the movie did so well. The script was so well done that even Ridley Scott couldn't gently caress it up with his string of lovely movies he's made in the last decade+.

The actual science stuff was interesting. It would be ok if the jokes weren't big bang theory level terrible. the "well technically I'm a space pirate " line died so hard in the theater I was a little embarrassed.

No other Duncan Jones movie has been close to Moon. its the first and only Duncan Jones movie I've seen, I loved it but nothing else's he's done even looks appealing at all to be fair tho he's very early in his career and has only written like 3 movies at all, and is probably doing stuff like warcraft just for money

If I were trapped on Mars I'd grow some martian weed (weed grown on Mars is red due to the soil, FACT) and just be high 36/11 (or whatever a Martian week is) and set all sort of embarrassing 'firsts' that future schoolkids would have to learn. "Thanks to the lower gravity, you can see from these stains that the first man on Mars was able to spooge nine feet in the air."

The line was fine in the book, it was just one more throwaway “look at the things this nerd thinks” joke (including aqua man references), but it was really badly delivered in the movie, I agree with previous poster

Eh, it's okay, but it still doesn't top Disney's My Favorite Martian for Marsploitation films. That movie had a talking spacesuit.

I thought Matt Damon was a poor choice for the role, it felt like I was watching him be “Matt Damon” rather than the character. He’s just not engaging and and it took me out of the story. Another annoying thing was how almost everyone in the film talked in a smarmy, distant sarcastic way, nothing like how people would realistically talk in that situation. Also saying “here’s the rub” over and over again in the cringeworthy vlogs, talking with his mouth full of food. Some weird directing overall from Ridley Scott.
