I remember watching the martian with an asian qt that I banged later the same evening. she was a virgin.
Nah Asian girls just tell all the guys they sleep with they’re virgins. Not sure why

pretty gay, but whatever, it ain't like we have many other options in the genre
>For All Mankind
gays, Black folk, women
an absurd waste of a decent premise on woke homosexualry
irredeemable, an utter waste of HDD space, not even worth pirating.
>Any other space kinos that aren’t more fantastical sci fi like interstellar?
no. a realistic scifi or space movie by definition has to be all about intelligent StraightWhiteMen™ using their superior intellect to master physics and the universe.
we're not getting any more movies like that unless the Reckoning™ happens and all out enemies are destroyed.
until then, all we're gonna get are several hundred million budgets being wasted in the vain attempt to portray women and Black folk as intelligent beings capable of causing or participating in progress.

Go outside if you’re that lonely dude
Ad Astra was in 2019.
Ad it was shit
Get help man.
I thought she was just stuck in a tube somewhere on earth, am I misremembering this?
You probably fell asleep watching it. It gets pretty interesting after a while, arguably more fantastical than what OP was asking for.
Other, more obvious, movies that are either fantastical or just bad, but have a hard SF feel to them.
2010
Outland
Ad Astra
Saturn 3 trigger warning, the robot squishes a puppy
Silent Running
I'm still looking for that skinemax movie that was just like Saturn 3 but with a stowaway instead of a robot.
If you're ok with anime
>Space Brothers
>Planetes
space brothers is gay slice-of-life garbage
planetes sympathizes with the insane terrorists that want to blow up the moon because unironically some people's lives aren't perfect on earth so everyone else should suffer for it, what a psychotic series. japs truly are soulless demons.
Make.
Him.
CUM.
you might like Starfield
you might be the only person who likes Starfield
give it a try
>The Martian
The book was good, movie was the most moronic reddit garbage I have seen.
>For All Mankind
You mean the one that is about replacing historical figures with women and Black folk?
The movie was nearly identical to the book beyond softballing China and making them look like good guys.
Not at all. The book focus a lot more about the autistic technical details rather than character interactions and doesn't have all the reddit quips.
Ffs the final scene when the went full iron man in the movie is literally just a joke he makes in the book that he knew would be moronic to even try. But hey, let's have Matt Damon make holes in his gloves and fly around!
>The book focus a lot more about the autistic technical details
So it's reddit. Proper science fiction has never been about autistic technical details. Andy weir is a hack writer btw.
>Proper science fiction has never been about autistic technical details.
Sci-fi that talks about science? CRINGE
I want LE HUMAN CONDITION and LE SOCIAL COMMENTARY in my space stories
>Sci-fi that talks about science?
Science fiction has always been about asking philosophical questions using science as a backdrop or a setting.
>I want LE HUMAN CONDITION and LE SOCIAL COMMENTARY.
Is there anything more reddit than a "I heckin love soience" midwit? Kek.
I suppose that's to be expected from someone who think Andy Weir is a good author.
Of course humanities morons just want to use everything just as a means to push their bullshit
>Of course humanities morons
I'm an electronics engineer. Do you need to be a "humanities guy" to recognize literature has been about themes and ideas revolving "le human condition"?
You just can't let me have ONE story focused on speculative tech in the middle of a sea of pretentious allegories?
>Sci-fi that talks about science? CRINGE
If it's empty nonsense like The Martian. Yes, it's cringe.
>empty nonsense
what does this even mean?
exactly what it says, are you a third worlder?
here:
I just conflatulated the input pardox with the frungal cleat, which makes the die cut spin rotor sidle at 32.387 joules per rachet, that gives me an extra 38 seconds to moiyter the quart vector and plinstam rober.

kino
if you want, I can write a script for the next super duper scifi extraveganaza. Just pay me 25 million.
it'll involve frinstanning the det-feeter at precisely four dog-angles just as we're passing the zenith equinox
your argument is that, because you don't understand what he's doing, it's "empty nonsense"? you realize it isn't star trek, right? that you could literally do everything he does in the movie?
sounds like michael crichton type nonsense where he tries to cover up his inability to write with pointless, misunderstood details he pretends to be an expert about.
Andy Weir was a "computer science" grad who worked as a code monkey his entire life before becoming a writer.
so he never lived or experienced anything, and all his knowledge comes from books he doesn't fully understand.
crichton had studied medicine but still didn't really understand or transmit scientific principles, it just reduced to below below tabloid article format.
This is the writing in The Martian
> With no magnetic field, Mars has no defense against harsh solar radiation. If I were exposed to it, I’d get so much cancer, the cancer would have cancer. So the Hab canvas shields from electromagnetic waves.
>This means the Hab itself would block any transmissions if the lander were inside.Speaking of cancer, it was time to get rid of the RTG.It pained me to climb back into the rover, but it had to be done. If the RTG ever broke open, it would kill me to death.
>I’d get so much cancer, the cancer would have cancer.
>It would kill me to death
Where's the gay who said the book didn't have reddit-quips? I'd like to kill him to death.
speaking of space movies, what are some films for picrel vibe?
not quite the same vibe but here is another pic. i've recently taken a liking to these old sci fi concept arts and their retrofuturistic vibe and would like this in movie form
Watch For All Mankind. Mars colony exists by season 4. Moon habitats in season 1
this is one of those moments I remember how barren the space exploration genre is right now
We're not going to space. We decided to become the third world instead.
I'm talking about movies
The Expanse
Babylon 5
Might be slightly too fantastical, but the technology humans use is at least plausible.
Both have the element of extremely ancient alien civilizations.
I watched the expanse but dropped out around season 3. The more they got into the fantastical parts like the alien genetic stuff and transport gates etc I stopped caring
Genuinely thought the Mars vs earth vs belter rivalry was way more interesting. So Mars terraforming becoming pointless in light of them discovering a ton of already habitable worlds was incredibly annoying
After season 3 it went to amazon, all the literal who actor and actresses demanded more money so there was no sfx budget so most main events happened off screen and there was a lot of nog vs nog shouting matches.
Yeah, the gate is really just a macguffin to change the dynamic with the collapse of both Mars, and the Belt.
The one story where they go through the gate to a planet was really the most out-there that the TV series gets.
After that the Earth vs Mars vs the Belt stuff comes back in a big way that is really satisfying.
>spend hundreds of millions to save one guy
I'm sure it was great PR but just ethically speaking you could have saved hundreds of thousands of people in other ways with that money.
In the context of the book, the resupply mission was always going to be sent, and the ship that makes the trip from Earth to Mars is built for the purpose of making the Earth to Mars trip continually.
So really it wouldn't have cost them any more money, except for the accident in the rushed launch of the resupply, and cancelling the immediate next mission.
If you treat the movie, as being like an in-universe movie about it, this decision makes sense. Hollywood was always going to make that change.
>governments spending a ton of money for PR and principles
Always has happened. Always will happen
How much do you think it cost britain to retake the Falklands?
Europa Report is really good.
>Europa Report is really good.
you redditors are moronic. It was average. Like 99 percent of space related movies who try to be realistic in some way or another.
Gravity is good, Cinemaphile just doesn't like that it has a female lead
Gravity isn't remotely scientifically accurate.
It has some issues but it isn't "fantastical sci fi" like OP mentioned.
The Martian and Ad Astra can be nitpicked just as much
>The Martian and Ad Astra can be nitpicked just as much
>We're going too fricking fast to catch The Martian!
>we need to go fast in order to break orbit and get back home.
>I'm going to blow 90% of our breathing air to slow us down.
>THIS IS THE BEST IDEA EVER!
It takes just one major liberty, the differences in orbits and altitudes between objects like the Hubble and ISS etc that would make it impossible to travel between them as shown.
The other inaccuracies are all fairly minor or debatable, including Clooney's death scene
I have never understood this complaint. Their orbits aren't established in the movie. They are fictional like everything else in the movie.
If you want to read something with really interesting and occasionally terrifying orbital mechanics, check out Seveneves by Neal Stephenson.
+1 for SevenEves
the only bad thing i can say about it is that like so many of his stuff, it ends abruptly just when the shit is at its peak. fricking neal is the master of blue balls, i tell you.
Lmao if you want to talk scientific accuracy The Martian is ridiculous. He would be fricking dead easily
Gravity sucks ass. The only reason people like it was the spectacle of seeing it in imax
as a long time KSP player, i GREATLY enjoyed the visuals, that shit looked AWESOME.
and ofc i was COMPLETELY turned off by the not-even-highschool-tier physics shown in that movie.
an enormous waste.
Some of us like physics
>it requires moronation so the plot can exist
Yeah it’s shit
We wish Mars had that type of wind storm abilities that caused him to be stranded in the first place.
Interstellar is a much better movie than The Martian, and yet The Martian is the movie I rewatch over and over and over.
Interstellar is just too fricking sad to watch for fun.
I like the Martian because it’s more about solving current problem with this. Fun back and forth with scientists figuring out bootleg solutions.
Interstellar is far too inhuman ironically when the driving plot is “love is a literal force that we use like magic to save humanity”
One of the reasons I really enjoy For All Mankind. Shit always goes wrong and bootleg solutions and improvisations are required.
Interstellar is space odyssey for the masses
>hey I gotz t gro corn
>space ship
>other ppl lost in space on personal planets
>me rescue
>them ded
>me go magic fly fly space cube daughter magic bookshelf click weeee
Interstellar is La jetee for the masses.
Interstellar could have been a near perfect movie if the script was revised to remove all the moronic plot holes
>moronic plot holes
like what homosexual
>Interstellar is far too inhuman ironically when the driving plot is “love is a literal force that we use like magic to save humanity”
thats literally not the main plot element and I'm glad this movie still filters morons. literally the major themes are betrayal and sacrifice
>they knew the first planet was very close to the black hole
>so by extension they should know time dilatation would be so strong the person sent there would be only around for a few hours/minutes before the rescue mission arrives
>but of course, the woman acts as if no one had realised this before even if it should have been a critical part of mission planning
Characters making mistakes is not a plothole midwit.
the ENTIRE of NASA made this stupid mistake
No. Just 3 characters. The ENTIRETY of NASA didn't know that the planet was that close to gargantua. The trio only had that information after crossing the wormhole.
They sent probes there and the movie shows it is possible to get good data transfer because of the videos sent to them.
Watch the scene again. Romily explicitly says 'Miller's planet is closer to gargantua's gravity well than we initially thought".
yeah honestly I love the movie to death but the first planet felt like a cheap trick to immediately raise tension and to shed a character.
it was subtly shown as Cooper trying to punish with Dr. Brand for not revealing her bias / love interest, but it backfired obviously
also
>1 hour = 7 years
>could only see ocean from atmosphere while approaching, no land
>could detect that the water was only a few feet deep without needing to land
>still chose to land
>every ~9 minutes is a year back on earth
>THEY GET OUT AND WALK AROUND
>instead of just flying around for a few minutes, and surely they'd see the tsunami which arrived just a few minutes later
I honestly think the movie was very good in it's approach to the human drama and the amazing visuals, but stuff like this hurts.
I also hate how inconsistent Interstellar is to it's own sci-fi hardness.
The movie starts with a classic expendable chemical rocket launching a shuttle into a spin space ship. Alright. But then on the other side, the shuttle can land AND go back to space without needing any refueling or staging (keep in mind all those planets have similar mass to Earth), and latter it's even used to rescue Coop like it is a Millennium Falcon.
It's not wrong to do soft sci-fi, but at least be consistent.
Moon (2009) deals with mining an energy source that NASA has actually been studying.
mining Helium-3 on the moon is such a bad meme
you need to heat hundreds of tons of regolith to 800C to even get 1g of Helium-3 from rock outgassing. moving that much mass would be an insane task, even on the best circumstances here on earth. its never gonna be economically viable on the moon
plus the fact that there isnt even a working reactor that can use the helium-3
plus the fact that we have enough uranium to power ourselves for centuries (with regular reactors like we have now) or even millenia (with breeder reactors)
The Right Stuff
Remember that period where every single bigbudget Hollywood movie had a random "china government good china government helpful chinagovernment loyal" scene
Yeah it was from 2008 to 2018 or so
>China liberalised and leftists and capitalists thought they were progressing and becoming more free
>nope, turns out they’re still scum
It’s funny because there’s a ton of movies with extended versions where the extra scenes were only for Chinese releases to try and appeal to China
Most memorable one for me is Iron Man 3
Remember these guys? They’re the surgeons who removed the shrapnel from Tony’s heart in the end. If you don’t remember them it’s because they were literally only in that scene in western normal releases. Don’t think they even had limes
Chinese version had a whole subplot about the Chinese dude and lady developing the experimental surgery with the magnet to remove shrapnel from patients with high risk during surgery. Nothing to do with the rest of the film intentionally so they could cut it out for everyone else
I guess they’re popular Chinese actors and we just don’t know them
I wonder how 2001 could have been if it was a more straight forward movie. The scene with the astronauts around the monolith had dialog in the script but it was all cut out.
Would have been better for the normie but less remembered in pop culture.
Literally had a whole generation of Americans watching the movie while high because it was an experience more than a movie
2001 Space Odyssee and the sequel.
2001 is completely esoteric
Its based.
>space magic monoliths
Nah, that’s not hard sci fi
>let's fricking science this shit out off this
>WORDS
>ON

Scientific progress has stopped in the 1960s and movies have caught up with it in the late 20th century. So there's no good movies about science and space, because there's nothing new explore. In fact, modern scifi you'd get with Star Trek or many blockbuster is a good reflection of modern day science, which just as vapid and needlessly geeky with its dark matter / string theory idiocy.
If you spent 10 years on Mars eating potatoes would it make your cum taste different?
