Martian, The BD

film makes more sense in extended format some set ups havent aged well but it is a decent watch

Truly excellent film, would suggest it to be the best film releaed in 2015. Hard sci-fi, at most points everything is brilliantly accurate, very faithful to the book as well barring a few scenes in the book missing from the movie. The only inaccuracies in the science in this film are the strength of the dust storm at the very start, and a few tiny visual things. Otherwise perfect, extremely plausible, you don't get the kinds of moments where your head is screaming to you "that just won't work". The plot is brilliant, as are the visuals, the interplanetary vessel (the hermes) is visually beautiful, taking inspiration from the appearance of the ISS and having accurate design features such as the heat radiators near the rear, shaped so as to fit within the shielded cone around the craft's reactor. This is most definitely the best film of 2015 and quite possibly the best for several years, science fiction in film being as hard, and visually impressive, as it should be. !!!WARNING, the below might contain spoilers of a form, but not big ones!!! The only differences from the book are as follows: 1.In the book he has a little acident with a drill which ruins his communication equipment to Earth (improvised from the pathfinder probe), his line about being a space pirate makes little sense without the fact thta his comms equipment is down. Perhaps they originally made a scene for the film where he ruins the pathfinder transmitter/receiver but cut that film, but left his space pirate comments scene in. 2.In the book the trip by rover takes much longer, it also has a few events along the way that the movie omits. The first of these involves a dust storm, a highly realistic one this time, which risks blotting out power to the solar panels he uses to charge the rover's batteries. The second involves the rover being rolled and crashed as he tries to enter the schiaperelli crater. 3.There are some slight changes to the scenes where he attempts orbital rendezvous with the hermes at the end.

Brilliant, very underrated

Excellent. Very cleverly filmed. Food for thought indeed.

The Martian is an adaptation of the best selling near future science fiction novel, which sees an astronaut called Mark Watney left for dead on Mars when a mission is aborted. But he's actually survived. He has to face very hard challenges in order to keep alive. The crew of the returning spaceship and many people back on Earth have equally hard challenges to face in order to try and rescue him when they find he's alive. The film throws you a little bit in at the deep end, introducing six characters in quick succession and then setting the main plot up within the first few minutes. But then it really gets going. The narrative shifts between Earth and Mars, and the latter scenes require an actor who can carry them all on their own. Matt Damon delivers just the right kind of performance. Making Watney a likeable character. He uses science and self depreciation a lot. But there are some very well acted moments when he does let the emotion out. On the ship and on Earth we have quite a few characters, all of whom are facing the science challenges and the politics that NASA has to contend with. And some of them have some very hard command decisions to make. If you've not read the book you might find it takes a while to take all the characters in. But they are all well drawn and acted, and all do get their moments. The film does get a fair bit of humour in, but it all arises from the situation, in the believable way that people will use humour in high tension situations such as this to deal with the pressure. It is a story about people making tough decisions to deal with tough problems. And then coming up against more of the latter. So it becomes a pretty gripping narrative, as Watney's survival remains in the balance. It strives hard to make the science real. Although those who like to nit pick that will probably find enough to keep them happy. It has a very good sountrack. And it's a film that, thanks to strong characterisation and acting, does get you drawn into the fate of these people. So you will care about what happens. Ultimately, it entertains. And that's what we want from movies. So it's a good watch. Those who don't like subtitles will find one short scene in a foreign language with those. They can't be turned off. But it's short. Do keep watching as the end credits roll for a few extra scenes. If you've read the book, you'll find it's a pretty decent adaptation. It has to truncate some stuff, just to fit the passage of time passing into the length of the film. Some of the supporting characters do get a little less to do than they do on the printed page. And apart from one brief moment, you don't get any of the tv show watching. But apart from that, and a few minor changes, it works fine. Getting the bulk of the book and the story onto the screen. Think of it as a companion to the book, and you'll be happy. The dvd has the following language and subtitle options: Languages; English, German, Castilian Spanish. Subtitles: English, German, Castilian Spanish, Hindi. I only says English on the box, but I have checked the disc and they are all there. The dvd goes straight into the main menu with no adverts or trailers. Extras are as follows: The original cinema trailer for the film. Gag reel: seven minutes of outtakes. Despite having some of the usual curse of these - unfunny shots of people pulling funny faces - some of these are very funny. So it's worth a watch. Also, instead of featurettes about the movie, several short supplemental features. None of these longer than three minutes. Ares III; Farewell. Mark Watney films life on the ship and talks to the rest of the crew, just before they depart. The Right Stuff. The crew get a psych test after a deprivation test. These two are very funny at points, and a good watch. Ares: our greatest adventure. A short promotional film for the mission. Presented by a familiar face. [In his field]. Leave your Mark. A TV Advert starring Mark Watney. Bring him home. A short film about the international response to his predicament.

A guilty pleasure of mine, this film is objectively not great, it's unclear whether it's a comedy with the constant wise cracks, or a space jeopardy thriller. I like it because proper hard sci-fi is unfortunately very rare, the masses prefer space wizards with laser swords, so I'm not spoilt for choice, and this film is funny and looks absolutely stunning. Also please make sure you buy the Extended Version. It has both the Theatrical and Extended Versions in 4K. It's worth it because anything that adds to the plot, gives you more witty dialogue and gives you more wonderful shots of Mars, is a good thing and definitely helps this film.

As described

Great

Fabulosa imagen y sonido. Sin español.

Excelente película con increíbles efectos especiales, tanto el blu ray como el blu ray 4k presentan una calidad sorprendente en cuanto a imagen, de por si el blu ray es muy bueno ya se imaginarán como es el 4k. La película cuenta con dos discos, blu ray normal y 4k (es necesario tener una pantalla 4k y reproductor blu ray 4k UHD). Dobladas al español latino.

I went for this for extended movie but also for the ATMOS soundtrack, great movie

A clever and well written Script and not one second of the Movie is boring! Matt Damon delivered an Oscar worthy performance and the cinematography is great. Highly recommended!
