The Martian | WIRED Movie Review

One of the best movies I've ever seen.

[voicetube]

I've seen it twice already – it is FANTASTIC!!

[TheTurbulator_]

I'm surprised that Interstellar wasn't mentioned once in this video, arguably the best space movie to come out in the past 5 years.

[thinlet]

In part 2, a worm hole unites 2 stranded Matt Damons and 2 Jessica Chastains from Interstellar and Martians together for an epic mindfuck of a movie.

what song is playing in the background?

[filmnewsreport]

"Most exciting space film since Gravity" No! Gravity was horrible! Should have said most exciting space film since Interstellar or Apollo 13.

[DanielRieger]

It's really good, but it feels like a very rushed version of the book. If you like the movie definitely read the book!

[graytlo]

But...even if Mark did know Mars has water, there's not much he could've done with it...right?

[LemurBK]

gravity and apollo 13 sucked balls. this movie was better than even interstellar.

[DANEMAN]

Science the *shit* out of this you mean ... Lol

[turbotonic]

wow if you pay attention this video pretty much useless offering nothing at all

[RyuAlpha]

awesome review, though its not really in NASA's hands, its in the USA's. The monthly budget for their military is equal to NASA's yearly budget, which kind of says a lot. Now if there was some way to convince the US government to actually fund a manned mission to Mars, we'd get there well before the projected 20 year estimate!

[antoniokastrocarlisledemel]

he says one fo the best space films since gravity but besides interstellar what other space movies has there been in the two years since gravity

[simbeau]

Caught a preview on Wednesday. Other than a single, "OK, that was a bit much." moment, I really enjoyed it.

Try to catch all the subtle sci-fi references.
