I’ve just finished watching The Martian. I thought it was well done and a load of fun 
. They played fast and loose with the physics when it suited the plot (e.g. the atmosphere is way too thin to risk blowing a spacecraft over) and I wasn’t convinced about some of the decision making or media handling either. And no-one, but no-one, would either be able to make a bomb or control the consequences of one on a spacecraft. But hey, it’s a movie and they got more stuff right than many do.

Science the shit out of this 
It’s great, very watchable.
My deepest sympathy 
He’s your mate or something isn’t he? 
Enjoy your ban 
The music from enter the dragon is brilliant , lalo is so superb
That bit annoyed me. It was central to the plot, that the ship could be blown over so they had to launch in a storm, and both these ideas are absurd.
The middle bit of the film is all great though 
Recently watched:
How it Ends - Netflix…great ending…
Extinction - Netflix…a bit better…
The polythene sheet (albeit reinforced with Gaffer tape) which holds roughly an atmosphere pressure difference across roughly a 2m diameter aperture is pretty implausible too.
That’s a total load of more than 30 tonnes (earth weight). I’ve had a tonne of sand delivered in a dumpy bag and the load area is smaller and the material a great deal stronger than that. I reckon the poly would burst, particularly if one of those storms blew sharp grit at it .

You’ll be saying The Force isn’t real in a minute.
If The Martian gives you angst about these things, it’s probably best you don’t watch Gravity or you’ll likely suffer an aneuryism. 
Sandra Bullock though 
The Hawaiian Pizza of Sci-Fi films.
Already seen it thanks. Yup, there were a few howlers in that, and unlike The Martian it didn’t have any real bits of technical ingenuity to balance them. I am with Rob on Sandra Bullock though (not literally …).

There’s a ménage à trois image I can do without 
Yes although i love unforgotten , its a bit crazy expecting all those people to remember what they did so many years ago to the hour and then criticise them if they get it wrong .
Getting addicted to line rider
