Everything Wrong With The Martian - With Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson 

He is actually a botanist and mechanical engineer, everyone on the team had multiple roles

"The only space blockbuster where no one dies." Wall-E would like to have a word with you.

See, I feel like for every sin, there's a perfectly legitimate counterpoint.

I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THAT THIS MOVIE HAS ANY SINS ITS AMAZING

It should also be noted that in both Interstellar and The Martian, Matt Damon's character is left by himself on a planet for a long time and is in an airlock that violently depressurizes. I guess airlocks hate Matt Damon.

Biggest problem with the movie: it was filmed on earth instead of being filmed on Mars, which would have made it much more realistic and authentic. A movie that takes place on Mars should also be made on Mars. Should have added 100 sins for that.

2:52 I love that scene. The "premature celebration" was very intentional and done better than in other movies. Give some credit dang it!

I love how Neil kept interrupting him pointing out how this movie/book was a masterpiece

By the way: when you were saying that he is a botanist and shouldn't have so much technological knowledge, he also serves as the crew's mechanical engineer.

CinemaSins: Tries to say anything Tyson: The Martian...

Combined with just seeing a deleted scene from this movie in which he mentions the cost of his rescue, I think CinemaSins should do a special "What's The Damage" episode on the total amount of money spent rescuing Matt Damon across all the movies that involve him being rescued (basically every movie he's in).

Of course, in the book, Mark's also an engineer, which explains why he's so good with tech. And of course, the movie doesn't include that part.

You can't kill this guy. He's fucking Jason Bourne.

Not back wounds, thats rashes from malnutrition... that was one of the more accurate things in the movie I'm pretty sure. Super subtle.

Love that Dr. Tyson keeps stepping in to point out how great this movie is. And I will always have a soft spot in my heart for his movie after watching it with my father, and reading parts of the book to him.

I think hearing Neil say "sciencing the shit out of everything" is the greatest thing ever

6:12 "Evidence that the Martian movie is fantasy: All who make important decisions are scientifically literate." LMAO

15:30 NASA actually DOES use universal power cords for that EXACT purpose.It also makes repairs easier.

So i remembered why i dont watch CinemaSins anymore, went from sins to just dumb judgement and little understand of the plot

Canonically, The Martian is a prequel to The Expanse book series, just in case anyone was wondering. (the authors confirmed it)

The "rocket with a tent" would work on Mars because the Martian atmosphere is so thin, it basically doesn't exist. Atmospheric pressure at the Martian surface is 600 Pa, which is nearly nothing compared to 101300 Pa atmosphere on Earth. Thus the single most scientifically inaccurate part of the movie is what began the entire plot, as the sandstorm would only have felt like a light breeze due to the thinness of the atmosphere.

The rash and cuts on his back is caused by scurvey which you get by not eating fruits and all he has been eating is potatoes.

“First get your facts straight, then distort them at your leisure” - Mark Twain

boromir explaining the elrond code name absolutely made my day -1 sin on that

But Dr. Ty-*"The Martian..."*

About the back wounds ( 8:37 ), I think they are sores due to malnutrition. He has been living on mostly potatoes for a while at that point. Also, I know the book doesn't count, but many of the issues are actually explained there. What I'm basically saying is, read the book, it's amazing.

As my great father says all the time I ask a real life question “it’s a movie”

The only thing I'd like to say is that some of the sins about the entertainment he partakes in (ie listening to Disco, watching Happy Days) is that these sins only exist because they didn't offer the weird throwaway line that the book gives us: in that everyone was only allowed to bring one form of personal entertainment with them or something (so like Happy Days was brought by one of his peers, and Disco was brought by the Captain) so he's only watching/listening because it's literally the only entertainment he had, but again, movie never gave us that throwaway line

Can we sin the fact that they used lbs?

*inhales* Sin 8: they waited to see if the storm was too rough to wait out until they decided to scrub Sin 9: it was already tipping at that point Sin 11: it was the oxygen alarm that DID wake him up. He didn't happen to just wake up right then Sin 12: how is he supposed to remove his suit when the antenna goes through it and into him? Sin 14: blood from his wound sealed the breach in his suit as the water in it evaporated, leaving behind a gunky residue Sin 20: there's clearly a visible scar Sin 21: each crew member got to bring their own entertainment and Commander Lewis brought happy days episodes. It's not like NASA decided for them. Sin 23: i'm being way to picky, but a sol is 24 hours and 37 minutes, not 40 Sin 28: everyone secretly likes to listen to disco. Either you do or you're lying Sin 28(the second one): can't argue that Sin 30: because everyone secretly likes disco Sin 36: plenty of companies use bikes and golf carts to get around locally Sin 37: there even is a sandstorm a little later in the movie and Acidalia Planitia isn't that big of a place so every sandstorm on the planet doesn't have to hit the hab and the surrounding areas Also sin 37: on a planet with an atmosphere density of less than 1% of earths' you get alot of san diego weather Sin 38: he's a mechanical engineer and pathfinder didn't have advanced tech. He explains what he did to make it work in the book and it's about as complicated as connecting an xbox to the internet Sin 42: why would Beth need a password on her computer when she's on a planet with only 5 other people? Sin 46: if you look at the details of all the incidents, it is quite likely that he would survive Sin 47: Mark was reading what he was writing to himself, and Martinez was reading to the crew since they weren't watching the screen Sin 48: Mars' gravity is almost 2/3 of earths'. Of course things are gonna fall to the ground slower you fucktard Sin 49: he had a beard later in the movie. Some people have slow growing facial hair or shave often Sin 51: of course they couldn't have finished it in 2 weeks. Finishing something like that in 4 weeks would be abnormally fast Sin 57: they clearly needed it to resupply Hermes before it went back to mars Sin 61: he's basically a nobody so it makes sense for him to leave when they're gonna make a temporarily very secret decision Sin 63: what? The ARES 4 mav was made to bring humans to low mars orbit. It could never bring him back to earth on its own. It also didn't have any supplies other than rocket fuel. The other presupplies hadn't arrived yet Sin 65: if a launch fails it's usually at the very beginning so it makes sense to celebrate early Sin 67: Beck was there to assist if some part of the docking failed, which it didn't Sin 68 i clearly remember you complaining about the movie being long. You think showing 7 months of living on mars would have made it shorter? Sin 69: malnutrition and hundreds of hours in an eva suit could have given him those wounds on his back Sin 70: it's quite normal for men to want to grow a beard at some point in their life Sin 71: what the fuck? The hermes could make the trip that Rich calculated. The problem was the mav Sin 73: you said several things here so i'm just saying this: weight, time, money Sin 78: yes it is, in an atmosphere as dense as Trumps' brain cells Sin 79: it wouldn't be live anyway, the transmission times between mars and earth range from 5-ish to 22-ish minutes. Also, why would they need a delay if someone dies? They're not showing a video of him dying or anything. It would basically consist of them missing the intercept and Mark floating away to die hours later Sin 80: he had previously said that he MIGHT miss if it was moving that fast. He never said he couldn't do it Sin 82: that wasn't a part of the original plan, they had no other choice since things hadn't gone as smooth as they were supposed to Sin 84: everyone secretly likes disco *exhales*

NDGT at 6:14 says that the movie is fantasy because all who make important decisions are scientifically literate! As a former Boeing engineer I can relate! My description of the difficulty we engineers have in communicating seemingly simple and obvious concepts is "Like explaining to a Boeing supervisor that there are 254 Angstroms in a microinch".

Kinda miffed they didn’t show the gluing his hand to his faceplate part from the book.

Also NASA really has universal sockets for everything after the Apollo 13 disaster

Everything wrong with "teen baby sitter get pounded"

The movie actually addressed the "tent on the nose" thing you sinned. There was this whole big scene about how wind resistance isn't a problem there because of the thin atmosphere. The bigger sin was actually that a windstorm posed a mortal danger to the mission, given the same thin atmosphere. But you didn't sin that.

Movie: has 1 second of logos CinemaWins: you have committed an unpardonable sin.

"Matt Damon" -Matt Damon, Team America

this movie could have been a lot better if the editing was better. Earth got way too much screen time. Matt gets stranded and movie immediately cuts to the nasa director. could have kept earth out of the picture until matt figures out how to establish connection with earth. i never once felt matt's loneliness or that he's ever in any danger.

Can’t believe this missed the scene when Commender Lewis turned off the com so people on earth can’t hear their planning on blowing up to decelerate, while earlier it was stated clearly that there are 12 mins delay in com, people on earth couldn’t hear it in real time. And she announced their plan eventually.

The Martian is probably the most non-superhero superhero movie there is. Matt Damon: Fake Loki Jessica Chastian: Vuk Kristen Wiig: Cheetah Michael Pena: Luis Kate Mara: Invisible Woman Sebastian Stan: Winter Soldier Chiwetel Ejiofor: Baron Mordo Benedict Wong: Wong Donald Glover: Aaron "Prowler" Davis Plus let's not forget that Damon goes "Iron Man" at the end of the film.

This was a hard movie to do cinema sins on huh?, SO many of these sins are barely sin's XD. Love it!

In the book, they don’t do the “Ironman” flying thing. The ship blowing the hatch works just enough to make grabbing him possible. The book was also way more funny.

Think every movie has a “I think you should come look at this” cliche

You missed the biggest one: during the penultimate rescue sequence, the people on Earth are getting real time updates on the events happening above Mars, which is several light-minutes away. This was even addressed earlier in the film.

Wait, did he just sin the "slow-motion"? It's called low-gravity. Ding.

I can imagine you going to a theater with a bell, and doing the sins in real life.

Usually your videos are good but with this one you're just trying to pull sins out of thin air, this is a pretty perfect movie.

the rant at 9:23 ish about infrastructure in place for manned missions to mars starts getting confirmed in 2020/2021 and I'm glad I'm watching and rewatching a lot of these videos now :)

"Clear pandering to Chinese audiences to be one of the movies that goes to China is clear pandering." The Martian was based on a book. That plot point was also in the book. The author put the book up for free on a blog and then sold it for 99 cents through Amazon self-publishing. I...don't think he was pandering.

The wounds on his back are the effects of radiation on his body, and the lack of nutrients is making it difficult for his body to repair the damage.

To me the film is so visually impressive that it almost makes you WANT to be stranded on Mars.

I love how Sean Bean has died enough in movies to be considered Kenny from South Park 🤣🤣 definitely one of my favorite sins

Turns out they left him on mars purposely as a social experiment

6:26 They where clapping because the rocket had just made it past max-Q, the highest point of aerodynamic pressure on the vehicle during launch.

07:09 God thank you !!!! When I saw her in this movie, I couldn't help thinking of McGruber 😂😂😂😂

Let's not forget the common mars myth portrayed in this movie. Martian dust storms don't blow equipment or people around. Because the atmosphere is so thin there, it would feel more like a breeze. Even most earth dust storms don't often blow stuff around, so on a planet with only 1/100 of earth's atmospheric pressure, definitely not. Also, they forgot about martian gravity but that would be too hard and expensive to recreate, so I'll let that one slide.

+1 because the strongest wind storms on Mars are a light breeze.

1:50 That storm is the only incorrect science in this movie. The worst storms on Mars are light breezes

Does anyone appreciate how funny the outtakes were. I died laughing. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Dr Tyson: “The Martian may be the first sci-fi blockbuster ever-” *cuts to commercial*

Sean Bean didn't die?! I want my money that I didn't spend back.

well in the book...

I love the film but you missed one... when he meets his crew again he says "I haven't had a shower in a year" but he clearly does after the 7 month interval

After extensively studying Mars (which I'm sure they had to do), knowing the weather issues that could arise, why the heck couldn't they have rigged up some tethering to the MAV so it wouldn't fall over during a major wind/sandstorm? Guess there'd be no movie, but they could've at least had that set up and then have it somehow fail during the storm, thus necessitating they leave the planet. Amazing how that major storm could rip off equipment from the MAV but couldn't blow them off their feet in the lower gravity environment. Also, due to this lower gravity, it's amazing that Mark didn't sustain any bone breakages while getting violently tossed around multiple times. When Kapoor says 'I need a map' and they are in front of a ton of monitors that could easily have brought up a map of the planet they are extensively studying, instead they go to the cafeteria, yank down a photo of the exact area, somehow know where the coordinates are on said photo, and determine where Mark is going. Also, the cafe staff getting ticked at them taking down the photo is hilariously ridiculous given the circumstances.

Because he is both a botanist AND an Engineer, just as the Doctor also covered EVA runs. All astronauts have dual specialty, so they can get the effect of two astronauts with the mass, oxygen and dietary requirements of only one.

EVERYTHING WRONG WITH MAZE RUNNER; SCORCH TRIALS

Nobody: Tyson: The Martian may be the first sci-fi blockbuster ever- *ad plays*

Sean Bean a) not dying, and b) explaining the secret project name ... Priceless!

The taking stuff out of the probe part has nothing to do with the Hermes circling around earth. It's the probe Matt is going to use to get into orbit. Please pay attention before you criticize something.

7:19 The meeting is called "Project Elrond' in the book. So the entire inclusion of Sean Bean in the film was an in-joke?

I'm sorry but Neil DeGrasse Tyson saying "sh*t" has awakened me on a spiritual level.

My favourite joke about the Martian is that it's believability would skyrocket if at the end credits, in the scene where Sean bean plays golf, he would be hit bythe golf cart and died.

3:35, hearing Tyson say sciencing the s*it out of everything xD

Why is a long movie a problem for people these days.

The original rich plan was to drop food not bring him home that’s why their were issues calculations to be made and issues to resolve.

10:40 "Sue Storm kisses Bucky in space" got me

9:05 They are not talking about Hermes, the fly path was calculated correctly. They are talking about the MAV that is sitting in Mars, which is supposed to go up only up to orbit, not further up in space. But yeah confusing unless one reads the book :)

the back wounds was from scurvy he's suffering from malnutrition AKA science fact

See funny thing is, NASA actually DOES use standardized connections and has for some time now. Not simply in case you get stranded somewhere, but also just due to ease of equipment manufacturing, and if that equipment ever needs to function in tandem with something else.

Need a sin for Watney being able to lift that nose cap when they said it's 400 kg. That's 880 lbs on Earth and even 333 lbs on Mars, when he was that skinny and frail.

4:42 He's a botanist AND a mechanical engineer. Maybe they didn't mention that in the movie though.

Oh god, Neil deGrasse Tyson? This video won't be annoying 😑

At 7:42 it would have been hilarious if the Jeff Daniels character had said to the Sean Bean character, "If you don't resign when this is over I'll have your head."

the most unrealistic thing in this movie is that NASA is sending people to Mars.

About the Chinese Space Agency intervention: In the book was the dialogue the 2 Chinese people had and it wasn't adapted when it went into the movie. The old man was saying to his female assistant something like: "So we've got the ability to present ourselves as equals to the US but if we don't intervene there is no downside?" He smiled wryly as he said: "The party leadership would sell their own mothers for that."

Should’ve removed a sin for the ‘Warner hears humans again’ scene. That was super touching and an incredibly accurate showing of human emotion as a whole.

I'll never get over how you got The Niel Degrasse Tyson to join the videos he's in

Gotta love the Neutrik connectors at 4:51 being used as power cables. ;-)

Some of these "sins" aren't "sins"

6:10 "Evidence that The Martian movie is fantasy: All who make important decisions are scientifically literate". There could not have been any truer statement. Lol

I hate when people say this but... the book is better, you get a great feel for how hard everything he does is.

More sins: you can't touch Martian soil without getting sick and the sandstorm at the beginning, guys, CANT! EVEN! HAPPEN!

I liked it better when it was called "Moon."

I find it funny how the guy from dumb and dumber becomes the head of NASA or whatever

Regarding the wind resistance, on Mars is barely an atmosphere and it’s easier to lift of since the planet is smaller so a tent could work

Thank god Will went through all of that training and followed his newfound dream of traveling space after recovering his memories of his life as Jason Bourne

11:15 What? No! Mark becoming the famous and beloved instructor is an awesome ending. Keep that in, movie.

The back wounds are from scurvy, which makes it much easier for a person to bruise. After living on almost entirely potatoes for many months, it makes sense that Mark would have a vitamin C deficiency.

I use this channel to watch things I haven’t seen before

Dr. Tyson: "The Martian may be the only sci-fi blockbuster ever..." Ad: "no finishing that, it's fine where it is."
