    Storyline

    Edit

    Edit
    • 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
      The film shows Watney following a parachute and shrouds to find the buried Pathfinder lander, but the Pathfinder used a unique airbag system that involved cutting the lander loose from the parachute and Rocket Assisted Deceleration System above the surface. The lander then bounced at least 15 times inside the airbag cocoon before coming to a rest, while the remaining rocket thrust carried the backshell and parachute away from the landing site.
    • 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:
      • Extended footage of Watney shortly after his abandonment, waking up in the habitat
      • Additional moments when Watney charts a course for the rover and dozes off at the wheel, commenting on this to his vlog
      • An additional scene after the NASA press conference confirming Watney survived, in which PR Director Annie warns director Vincent Kapoor not to use the phrase "bring him home alive", and also complains about her private life
      • Additional moments while Watney and the Pathfinder team communicate, including more repartee between Kapoor and the young JPL technician, and Watney using an unusual insult when he hears his crew have not been told he is alive, followed by the reaction of NASA team members to this
      • A short scene after Watney patches the hole in the habitat after the explosion using plastic sheets, in which he uses smoke currents to detect and patch holes with sealant
      • Additional scenes showing Rich Purnell requiring the use of a supercomputer to deliver his Earth slingshot calculations
      • A scene in which Watney completes the soil analysis started by his crewmates in order to complete their original mission before he leaves Mars
      • A scene in which Watney inflates a pressurized tent to eat and clean his body outside the rover on his way to the Ares IV coordinates. He also leaves an apology to the Ares IV team for using their supply drop.
      • A short moment in which Commander Lewis and Martinez discuss how many times their simulated rescue mission has resulted in Watney's death

    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.
