2024-06-23 21:36:33 +0000 UTCGood reaction here, mate. From what I've read, Damon wasn't allowed to lose the weight for the later scene. Sources say it was a body double or CGI. I always thought it was cute to give Sean Bean lines referencing Lord of the Rings,

2022-09-08 10:20:38 +0000 UTCThe Martian- Thank you so much for this great reaction to such a phenomenal movie I love, Dillon!! I really enjoyed watching your reaction for it, and I am so happy that you really came to love this movie too! And I really appreciate your thoughts regarding the morals throughout this movie too. Ridley Scott is one of my favorite movie directors. He also directed another of my favorite movies... Kingdom of Heaven. Beautifully directed. And he does a fantastic job directing The Martian as well. This movie easily could have gone in the same direction of another well known fight for survival movie... Cast Away starring Tom Hanks, in which a majority of the movie follows only one character as he struggles to survive after becoming shipwrecked on an island. Don't get me wrong... Tom Hanks acts brilliantly in that movie and I love him as an actor, but I found Cast Away to be boring because his character is really the only character seen throughout the movie. The Martian could have easily been directed the same way, and yet we get to know a lot of other brilliant characters who work together to bring Mark Watney home. Characters including his teammates and all of NASA, among others as well. And I am very grateful that this movie didn't become just another one man survival movie. I love each of the actors who play the other astronauts on his team. Jessica Chastain as Commander Melissa Lewis, Sebastian Stan as Doctor Chris Beck, Kate Mara as tech wiz, Beth Johanssen, Michael Pena as pilot, Rick Martinez, and Aksel Hennie as chemist, Alex Vogel. Especially Sebastian Stan... another of my all time favorite actors, and Jessica Chastain, whom I really love too. And among the famous or well known actors working at NASA, we have Chiwetel Ejiofor, Sean Bean, Kristen Wiig, Benedict Wong, Mackenzie Davis, and Donald Glover. I love each of their characters, and seeing just much of a role each one of them play in Mark Watney's rescue from Mars. Also... now that you've seen each of the Marvel movies, you ought to recognize a lot of these actors, as a lot of them plays characters within the Marvel Universe. Chiwetel Ejiofor and Benedict Wong are in Doctor Strange, Sebastian Stan is in The Captain America movies as Bucky, Michael Pena is in the Ant-Man movies, Donald Glover is in Spider-Man: Homecoming, Kate Mara is in Iron Man 2, and eve Matt Damon is in Thor: Ragnarok and Thor: Love and Thunder. It's amazing seeing so many familiar actors from all these Marvel movies are in this one movie! :) This movie has such a phenomenal cast! I'm not typically a fan of Matt Damon. He's normally a very hit or miss actor for me. I enjoy some of his roles, while I dislike a number of his other roles. However, he really is fantastic in this role as Mark Watney. I know that this movie was nominated for multiple Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Actor... Matt Damon. Sadly, it didn't win any awards, but Matt Damon most certainly should have won because it is certainly well deserved. I love Matt Damon in the role of Mark Watney. And I admire the strength, attitude, and courage Mark maintains all throughout his entire ordeal that would most likely cause most everyone else give up and die. I know I probably wouldn't have survived, even if I were to have half the brains Mark has. In regards to the Pathfinder Watney finds far away from their landing site... I believe that the Pathfinder is actually a real drone, or rolling satellite NASA actually sent up many, many years ago to take pictures of Mars, as we've always hoped to really be able to send people to Mars. So I really love that this Pathfinder is a part of this movie. Overall... I absolutely love this movie and its cast, as well as the directing. I love the overall story, seeing Mark Watney's fight for survival, and I love seeing everyone come together to bring Mark Watney home. I also really love the music all throughout this movie as well. Thank you very much once again for this marvelous reaction, my friend! I'm happy you enjoyed it! Until your next reaction for my movie request for this month... Sincerely, Heidi

2022-09-08 07:36:24 +0000 UTCjust got done great reaction, i agree with you about the morals of the movie never giving up is what makes us strong and its why Mark was able to do what he did. the first time i watched this i was so anxious about how it would end they really did a good job of presenting the stakes of the situations to make us question if he could get through it.
