    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Rich Purnell slips and falls after he finds a way to rescue Mark Watney and tells his boss "I need more coffee." Donald Glover revealed in an interview that he slipped for real and just got up and continued to act, and the footage was retained in the final edits for the movie.
    • Goofs
      Due to Mars' low atmospheric pressure, the effective wind pressure in martian wind storms is much lower than shown in the movie, very unlikely to be sufficient to tip a spacecraft. Also, the wind on Mars is much too weak to carry large rocks. In interviews, Andy Weir has acknowledged this and admitted that he took creative license with this in order to create the story.

      The dust on Mars at the surface tends to be very fine, with grain sizes comparable to smoke particles. There are dust storms on Mars, but they look and behave like puffs of smoke instead of raging wind storms depicted in the movie.
    • Quotes

      Mark Watney: I don't want to come off as arrogant here, but I'm the greatest botanist on this planet.

    • Crazy credits
      Disco music, which had been a running gag throughout the film, is played during the ending credits. Appropriately, the first song played is "I Will Survive," which features the lyric "And so you're back, from outer space."
    • Alternate versions
      In June of 2016, an extended cut was released on Blu-Ray and Ultra HD 4K Blu-Ray that adds 10 additional minutes of footage.

    The best of 2015...
    The film is the finest examples of science fiction and science fiction embodies everything required. Matt Damon has given the right role until the end of the case. Besides the fact that one does not really need. All movies have moved on their own. We have seen examples of this, such as the Buried and 127 Hours of very good quality movies. The master Ridley Scott's science fiction after a long separation has made a great comeback with this film case. After this film, Ridley Scott disappointing those who say the sound was cut. Thank you for this wonderful film Ridley masters. Maybe the best in 2015, as I mentioned in the title.

    FAQ10

    • How did The MAV manage rendezvous with the HERMES if it was an emergency evacuation? Doesn't it require precise planning to rendezvous with an object in orbit?
    • Wouldn't Watney be negatively affected by the different day-night cycle on Mars?
    • Would Watney need to use antibiotics after being wounded in space?
