The funny spirit of this film can be seen from the director. Tony Scott put a graffiti on the cover of the script. The hero looks heroic, standing on the ground of Mars, roaring I'M GONNA SCIENCE THE SHIT OUT OF THIS PLANET. (I seem to recall the high school class teacher's earnest teaching that he learned mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and traveled the world without fear.) This sentence also established the hard sci-fi tone of the whole film.
When the male protagonist played by Matt Dumeng said this golden sentence, he was upgraded to a Martian-level joker. The audience can probably guess the subsequent development of the plot. A highly intelligent botanist (the protagonist in the original book has an engineering background, and the script only has a botany background) to use mathematical, physical and chemical knowledge to become self-reliant. (Hydrogen makes water to grow potatoes) Live until one day NASA (led by Jeff Daniels, still has the aura of the NEWSROOM anchor but is much more conservative) and teammates (except for the model worker, the others have a very thin sense of existence) Save yourself back. Among them, pain and pleasure are indispensable.
In fact, this film is not completely hard. The elements such as hydrogen combustion to make water, water purification equipment and other elements are the same as the technology used by NASA in reality. However, the Martian dust storm is not as big as the one in the film. For the sake of the plot, the Martian dust storm is exaggerated. The gravity of Mars is not directly described, but the 3D 48FPS shooting in the early stage, in order to match the GOPRO shooting material in the post-production, the frame rate was reduced. I can feel that the movement has slowed down slightly, which can be approximated as a manifestation of the gravitational force of Mars.
Compared with the heavy philosophical thinking of interstellar crossing, the film is more of a comedy effect, using a concise, straightforward and realistic lens language (GOPRO is the highlight, the editor added a GOPRO lens to the special effects team to add a considerable amount of tasks) Real people demonstrate survival on Mars Skills, how human beings should live optimistically in the face of difficulties. The film is not deliberately provocative. To a certain extent, the film is regarded as a survival teaching film for future Mars immigrants. Because NASA missed the opportunity to fully cooperate with interstellar travel last time, it will fully participate in the filming of this film this time. There were even special screenings at the Kennedy Space Center and the International Space Station.
Perhaps it is for the pursuit of box office, or perhaps it is really aware of the strength of China's aerospace industry. The film spends more pen and ink describing China's aerospace technology than gravity, and becomes the savior at a critical time in the film, turning the tide. It sang a main theme hymn that resounded throughout the universe. But unfortunately, except for Chen Shu, the Chinese elements in the film are a bit inconsistent, and there is a North Korean atmosphere in the assassination of Jin Sanpang.
In terms of lens language, the film seems to be able to see the shadow of Prometheus, gravity, and the ARES crew walking in a giant sandstorm. At the end of the film, the scene of the model worker and the cute space waltz is the most beautiful comment on the entire Mars rescue.
After experiencing black gold murder and mediocre Exodus, Scott finally handed in a standard qualified work. The old man's creative energy (the mantra kept writing and filming) and the efficiency of filming really made people write a big suit.
Duomeng said that Model Worker has poor music taste, which is indeed very bad. These accompaniment strips pretty much ruin the OST.
NASA didn't pay a cent. Scott made a great Hollywood model promo for NASA.
