 Adam and Derek here. We just got done seeing the Martian at the Icon Theater here in lovely Minnesota. It's a beautiful night out gorgeous Yeah, and it was a beautiful movie. I loved it. Yeah, Matt Damon Jessica Chastain Yeah, we got make Michael Pena Kate Mara Michael Pena is is the new what John Leguizamo of the decade Yes, yeah, he's in a little bit of everything. You know who's the most surprising person to appear in this movie? Kristen Wiig Spoiler alert Now that's another the bumpers that I was gonna say we're gonna keep this spoiler free But you just ruined Kristen Wiig was she the trailers? She might have been I should probably okay. It's not a big reveal. I didn't see a trailer for this movie going in I went in fresh as a fish. That's not a phrase, but I'm gonna make it one Fresh as a fish It's not And yeah for one of the only times I've never I've never watched a movie preview before going to the film because it was a really Scott joint and I knew I was gonna see this and probably like it I was one of the ten people that liked Prometheus Mostly from a visual standpoint. There was a ton wrong with it in the script department But this was beautifully shot extremely well acted the story was great. You're a big Reader did you read the book? I hadn't read the book yet. I had planned to but now that I saw such a beautiful movie I don't know if I need to go back and do it. I got a pretty good story I did hear some guys chatting it up in the the men's bathroom the book I didn't have to go to the bathroom I just like to kind of hang out in there from time to time and they were talking about how it was they did quite a Few things different from the book. So that's as much as I can bring to the table might be worth a spin I mean, there's probably a lot more details of his time Yeah Mars now we had a conversation before this people are going to the movie like does this take place on Mars? Is that what a Martian is? Is that an alien from Mars or? I'm sure we have the most realistic option. I didn't think he was living on the moon So I just mean the definition of Martian does that mean you're a person that lives on Mars or as Martian Just another way of saying alien did we come to terms with that yet? I think that's a question for an astronaut There's only some some form of technology we could use to quickly Google the answer. Yeah, I don't know. We'll never know We'll never know show a lot of skin here. I don't really know what's going on Deep cut you're welcome ladies. It's two hours and 20 minutes. I thought the runtime was was fine I wasn't checking my watch. No phone was off. So yeah, I thought it was a good amount of time I didn't I don't think it was if it is any shorter. I don't think they would have had good enough story There was right a lot a good meat and potatoes in that story a lot of potatoes Basically lives on those for a year. I like movies where the protagonist dies I also like movies with a protagonist lives so you can you can take with that what you will and if you've read the book You already know the ending. Maybe Maybe not sometimes they change that shit. Yeah, no like fight club. Yeah, did they change that? Yeah? I mean, I think he Thinker, you know, I read the lie they did change You know, I'm filming with a GoPro and if I didn't have one going into this review I probably would go pick one up. Thanks to all the non subliminal messaging It was shoved right down your throats. These go pros Everywhere in the movie hooked onto his helmet hooked on to the rover hooked on to the space shuttle And the NASA guys are using it. I saw about 50 shots of go pros and they made you well aware It was a GoPro. You got to see that logo up front and center Wally comparisons I heard going into this. You see any there? I actually haven't seen Wally Which is gonna crush you I saw comparisons for sure. There's there's a good I'd say like 45 minutes where there's not a lot of talking. It's just you and Matt Damon one-on-one While watching him, you know plant crops and just check out Mars and the rover and do whatever he has to do to survive It's also similar to gravity. I thought in terms of survival. There's You know, he's doing whatever he has to and shit just keeps going wrong One of the best movies I saw this summer. If not the best it should have came out I think peak summer because I think this yeah, we're falling out. We're falling out It's a perfect blockbuster movie. You got Ridley Scott. You got Matt Damon. You got a good storyline and good space Story in the background Yeah, uh one final thing before I give the score it also had I mean this this v is distracting me I almost feel like I need to button up here No, that's too late. You know, you guys have already gotten quite the show your eyes worth um red light district One more thing before I score this bitch I loved the the uh kind of the 90s feel it had All around there was definitely an Apollo 13 vibe. There was a lot of jokes during even serious situations not I shouldn't say during but around, you know before and after there was some great Uh great jokes being had Just kind of tension kind of tension, you know, it's it's not like a Christopher Nolan movie where It's just constantly like dramatic and Heavy, you know, there's a good sense of fun being had by everybody Score wise. I'm giving it a 10 I'm gonna give it a nine The only downside that I saw to it was early on in the story It was kind of predictable. You kind of saw where things were going. I was telling you some of that stuff I would say I just I knocked it down a notch For that it tends really hard. I wouldn't say it's a perfect movie But it was probably one of the top two or three movies I saw this year. You know, after seeing the movie I always do rank movies a little high. I'm a little more lenient So maybe after a couple months, I'll think back and maybe like, yeah, maybe I should have given it a nine Like Derek said or maybe you'll rewatch it and find things that you didn't notice before and love it even more Maybe it's an 11 at that point And I did get fantastic for a three though and that movie's a two or a one both at Cape Mara Yeah, which uh, and they're both in space and that was the last time I reviewed a movie A lot of a lot of knowledge coming at you right now. Thanks for watching. See you next time in the car You
