Well, let's talk about this movie that is only three and a half stars for me. From the previous year's "Gravity", last year's "Interstellar", to this year's "The Martian", the directors seem to have discussed it and chose to release it in China in November. For sci-fi fans, it's a brief introduction. November has become the "Recharge of Faith Month" for going to the cinema ╮(╯▽╰)╭. The Martian is good in terms of the overall storyline, because NASA's Mars mission is moving slowly these days, and a movie like this can have a certain motivating effect and bring some positive effects. I haven't read the original book, but according to the plot of the movie, it should be generally classified as "hard sci-fi". Back then, Da Liu seemed to have mentioned that science fiction cannot be distinguished by simple soft and hard. In fact, I also agree. As far as this movie is concerned, the reason I gave it three and a half stars is that the storyline and scientific bugs are a bit too low, and some points are really unbearable to complain! The sunset on Mars is blue, but the sunset on the earth with the natural Budd haze in the movie, can’t the special effects team deal with it? In addition, the plot design of the pressurized explosion of the "potato warehouse" is also a bit unreasonable. Although the atmosphere of Mars is thin, there is no alarm when there is a loophole during pressurization, and then the pressurization is terminated? Just keep blowing up like this? Anyway, you can say that the plot needs it, but I just don't think it makes sense. Since many people have watched Interstellar, it is inevitable to compare the two movies. I like Interstellar very much. From the soundtrack, scientific plot, and lens, it is much better than the Mars mission. Let’s talk about the soundtrack first. I don’t need to say much about the soundtrack of Interstellar. At that time, I downloaded and listened to the original soundtrack album as soon as it came out. As soon as the music played, the picture in the movie came out, but The Martian didn’t work, because the most important thing in the whole movie That disco song, this song runs through the movie, after watching the movie and looking back, I can't remember which scenes correspond to this song, some are just Matt Damon's bearded face (ಥ_ಥ), and for the middle When the camera cuts to the earth, there is an episode that is impressive. I always want to find the original soundtrack after watching the movie and listen to it carefully. This is the soundtrack gap. Let's talk about the scientific plot. For me, interstellar travel is a scene that leads you little by little to a final logical imagination and describes such a scene. The previous plot foreshadows the father who finally falls into the singularity. You may not understand it at first. Then I look back (I suddenly understood during the dialogue when my father fell into the singularity), it seems that a science student solves a difficult problem, suddenly the point is broken, and then the whole theory can be explained, the sense of achievement is very refreshing . And The Martian lacks this feeling, you can say that the background is not the same at all, but you can't ignore this , that is, throughout the movie, it seems that a lot of things are done in the blink of an eye, and too little is said about the description of scientific logic and theories. For example, "Potato Warehouse" was later wrapped with "plastic sheets" and tape. I also discussed with my friends that the director may be trying to create an atmosphere of nervousness and lack of security. That's right, director, you have succeeded. Every time the sound of the plastic sheeting makes me feel the same way as the male protagonist, but you can't say whether there is any risk in doing so? Can't do more? There is such a derogatory term in journalism called "reasonable imagination", and I think it is definitely a great way to use it in science fiction. News emphasizes facts, and of course it can’t have any elements of reasoning and imagination, but science fiction emphasizes imagination, but it must have certain scientific reasons. We can't say that the theory of interstellar travel is right, because both movies imagine a possibility of the future, but the scientific theory of interstellar travel is existing, and it is an imagination that makes you understand that it is reasonable through reasonable imagination, and The Martian is a little worse in this regard. The male protagonist planted potatoes on Mars. The botanical explanation is too rough. The roughness is so rough that it gives me the feeling: Oh, you have grown potatoes in your backyard. ~Brother, this is on Mars. The male protagonist is a doctor of botany, but the audience is not!
Finally, let’s talk about the camera and editing. There are no major problems, but we are a sci-fi film. Let’s talk about it further, we are a space-themed sci-fi film. Can you, can you give some more grand scenes? Some people say that the magnificent earth, the Hermes, and the red surface of Mars are not very much? Yes, these are many, but this is not a grand scene, this is a movie appreciation clip without a storyline. A grand scene is inseparable from the elements of nature and people. For example, in the display of the storm, it is obvious that NASA has satellites, but why is it not displayed on the satellite photos? The visual presentation of the Martian storm is really nutritious, and I don't feel like I've seen enough. This is the cause of the whole movie, okay, can't you add more visual effects? Well, it can be said that the background of the story dictates, but I can't help but complain about this.
Finally, to sum up, this is a sci-fi commercial film that is worthy of the annual belief of sci-fi fans, but it does not bring too many surprises, that's it.
