The Martian was one of the biggest hits of 2015, and was nominated for tons of year-end awards. But being as it's set in space and in the near future, we thought it best to bring back Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson to help us separate this movie's sins from its wins. Please thank him by checking out his StarTalkRadio YouTube channel here: youtube.com/user/startalkradio

Next week: Dystopian sins and action sins.

Remember, no movie is without sin! Which movie's sins should we expose next?!

    He is actually a botanist and mechanical engineer, everyone on the team had multiple roles
  • @Generalkidd
    It should also be noted that in both Interstellar and The Martian, Matt Damon's character is left by himself on a planet for a long time and is in an airlock that violently depressurizes. I guess airlocks hate Matt Damon.
  • "The only space blockbuster where no one dies." Wall-E would like to have a word with you.
  • @nyphron3109
    See, I feel like for every sin, there's a perfectly legitimate counterpoint.
  • @jacobboyer2024
    By the way: when you were saying that he is a botanist and shouldn't have so much technological knowledge, he also serves as the crew's mechanical engineer.
  • @algorithm1193
    You can't kill this guy. He's fucking Jason Bourne.

    I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THAT THIS MOVIE HAS ANY SINS ITS AMAZING
  • 2:52 I love that scene. The "premature celebration" was very intentional and done better than in other movies. Give some credit dang it!
  • @Boarky
    Not back wounds, thats rashes from malnutrition... that was one of the more accurate things in the movie I'm pretty sure. Super subtle.
  • @Mogamishu
    Biggest problem with the movie: it was filmed on earth instead of being filmed on Mars, which would have made it much more realistic and authentic. A movie that takes place on Mars should also be made on Mars. Should have added 100 sins for that.
  • @Ertizoel
    I love how Neil kept interrupting him pointing out how this movie/book was a masterpiece
  • @quillmaurer6563
    Combined with just seeing a deleted scene from this movie in which he mentions the cost of his rescue, I think CinemaSins should do a special "What's The Damage" episode on the total amount of money spent rescuing Matt Damon across all the movies that involve him being rescued (basically every movie he's in).

    CinemaSins: Tries to say anything Tyson: The Martian...
  • @awesomecat42
    15:30 NASA actually DOES use universal power cords for that EXACT purpose.It also makes repairs easier.
  • @ravenrose5712
    Love that Dr. Tyson keeps stepping in to point out how great this movie is. And I will always have a soft spot in my heart for his movie after watching it with my father, and reading parts of the book to him.
  • @doomerz5803
    Of course, in the book, Mark's also an engineer, which explains why he's so good with tech. And of course, the movie doesn't include that part.
  • @JoaqMan
    "Matt Damon" -Matt Damon, Team America
  • @ColonelCipher
    The "rocket with a tent" would work on Mars because the Martian atmosphere is so thin, it basically doesn't exist. Atmospheric pressure at the Martian surface is 600 Pa, which is nearly nothing compared to 101300 Pa atmosphere on Earth. Thus the single most scientifically inaccurate part of the movie is what began the entire plot, as the sandstorm would only have felt like a light breeze due to the thinness of the atmosphere.
  • @bigoldpp9542
    I think hearing Neil say "sciencing the shit out of everything" is the greatest thing ever
  • @chicks4503
    Usually your videos are good but with this one you're just trying to pull sins out of thin air, this is a pretty perfect movie.
