Doesn't matter how far in the future a movie is, the equipment always fails at the worst possible time

[Veridiano]

Imagine a Space Mysterie movie where the equipment works as it should and the plot is interesting because of the mystery, rather the survival of the group against imposible odds.

AI Irene notices the emergency so she goes into sleep mode .. LoL.

[TheSwedishAssassin]

I always love those space helmets designed to point all the lights at the wearer's face so that they're completely blinded by it lol

[maschiavon]

What irritates me about these films about missions to Mars is that they always arrive with a single module without having had any preparation, plan B, etc. Before going on a distant and risky mission like this, any minimally intelligent person would first send a unmanned ship to land and install a shelter and they would then send a mother ship with at least two landing modules. It's the minimum level of security, but all screenwriters fall into this trap, the same as FOR ALL MANKIND, MISSION TO MARS, etc.
This already discredits the entire story. I'm a Navy pilot and the High Command would not approve such a risky mission unless there was a war.
And it is not enough to have a shelter self-sustainable, it needs to protect astronauts from radiation from cosmic and solar rays because Mars does not have a magnetic field and, currently, the only solution would be underground shelters. In other words, if any astronaut arrives alive on Mars, due to these same solar and cosmic rays during the trip, they will live buried in caves like our ancestors from 100 thousand years ago...lol.

Why is it in most space movies, when an astronaut goes outside to repair or to do some manual work. They're not attached by a tether line for safety and they go drifting off into space.

1. Gets hyped from the first minute. 2. Googles the show to watch it. 3. Finds only $1.99/episode options for the 6 year old series. 4. Back to the free summary.

Movies like this make me wish that Mystery Science Theater 3000 was still around!

[davewang]

The most important part here is that we didn't have to pay to rescue Matt Daemon in this movie.

[michelveilleux]

Wise man once said: "Out of order?! fuck!!! Even in the future, nothing works!!!"

[johnmiller]

What does it seem like every story about missions to Mars involves convoluted love stories between crew members, that first negatively effect the mission. Then, miraculously, help the mission?

[buffnuffin]

So glad I hadn't spent several hours to this plot. Thanks a lot for the summary. Narration was well too.

[andrewlabat]

The plot is the same, same typical space movie that we see time and time again. This is a prime example of why 2001 was so, so good. It didn't need all these other destructive moment, plot builders to deliver and fantastic movie, you want to watch time and time again..

[cliffcox]

Lights INSIDE the helmet must make it hard for them to visualize the environment, but makes it great for the camera to video them. A stone with DNA! ohhh shit.. I mean I love fiction, but if it's plausable.

[Twerkulies]

1.) A manned space mission wouldn't go without lots of preplanning, such as a habitat already built and ready to go.
2.) Ever since computers have been invented, we have known they can fail. This is why there will ALWAYS be a manual backup to every system, especially the important ones such as life support.
3.) There should be a massive battery backup system. The battery life of the Apollo space crafts was 10 days without recharging.

[HeavyK.]

This is a very confusing story.
I'm glad this summary is available.

[nk-gpml]

I’m more organised going for my weekly shop than this lot on their mission to Mars.

"Many years later, under the leadership of the Swedish billionarie Meyer[...]"

Actually, Meyer is Swiss (from Switzerland), not Swedish. Sweden and Switzerland are two entirely different countries.

[appleseedmg]

Yup, someone always has to go out and do something manually.

[privatemale]

Amazing how much larger that ship looks on the inside compared to the outside.
