He absolutely is too smart and has expertise way outside of his field of expertise. He solves how to recalculate his travelroute to catch rocky at the end of the movie with a whiteboard and a marker. He teaches himself how to pilot a spaceship. He reprogams a computer to do google translate for him in real-time.
t. person with PhD in molecular biology that could do most of the Astrophage or Taumoeba stuff but none of his lingustics or astrophysics shit.

>Also he's not even depicted *that * smart in the movie.
he comes from his school teacher job, and on his own solves a problem that all the scientists of the world were trying to solve for teh good of mankind?

He was specifically a biologist with a focus on interplanetary life you fucking retard.
I'll grant you the intercept path thingy, but the propellant is hand waved away anyway and kind of assumes some magical device that can propel you in any direction. Since they discussed the propellant it probably works as a basic "point it in direction x and accelerate" thingy, and then it'd just calculating a bunch of super basic coordinates in spaces via vectors. But sure it requires some suspension of disbelief regarding how they'd find each other and the simplicity of the steering.

Been a while since i have seen a good movie like this. The only thing that was a bit lazy was the bare end part of the plot, but i was fully satisfied so i did not care. The beginning was kind of slow but once it got rolling i felt like that star wars onions guy, switching between cheering and crying like a bitch constantly. Goose was straight lovable. It has the right message too. I sound lebbit but shit was good.

It takes years of dedicated study to achieve the level of proficecency in one field of science that Grace displays for multiple fields. If he was in his 50s and the movie told us that he worked at NASA before, okay maybe I'd buy it, but the movie tells us he did a PhD in molecular biology (Technically astrobiology since he was complaining about the Goldilocks zone when he got kicked out) and then went on to do middleschool science. Would he know the speed of light? Sure, that comes up in his classroom. Would he know how to pilot a spacecraft to the level of recalculating flightpaths to the precision needed to intercept another craft thats thousands of kilometers away? Highly doubt that.
>>220438603
I am a molcular biologist you fucking retard, the most programming any biologist I've ever met has done is using R to automate evaluating flow cytometry data. In fact, a good colleague of mine spends all day doing molecular dynamic simulations of protein-protein interactions. I watched the movie with him and brought up that exact same point. He also said he wouldn't even know where to start programming a software like that. I wouldn't know where to start.
>Hurf you're just all dumb, Grace could totally do it
Why? Why would this molecular biologist also have this understanding of programming, linguistics and piloting?
>astrophysics
>He was specifically a biologist with a focus on interplanetary life you fucking retard.
You're too fucking retarded to understand my point. He is refered to as having a degree in molecular biology. His thesis has a part discussing his disdain of the goldilocks zone and how water is not needed for life. Those claims are part of the field of astrobiology, if his thesis deals with these themes he should be refered to as an astrobiologist, I refer to his weird competence in astrophysics in regard to him rerouting his spaceship, which is dependent on his understanding of how objects travel in space.

>>220438764
dear retard, nowadays programming is just a basic skill anyone can have, kind of like being fluent in english. not to mention nowadays a"i" can basically do it for you ( thats one of the best use cases of ai, translating from human language to programming language, allowing one further step away from the 0s and 1s )
also degrees are literally paper. all skills and knowledge you will ever have you will obtain by yourself or are to a high degree naturallly innate to you (like linguistics), and either you are capable or a retard, practice in the matter changing little. being enroled in the social ritual to obtain the paper is irrelevant to all of that. i understand it can be hard to grasp for retards

I had such a rollercoaster watching this. I was bored out of my mind after awhile but once it started to get into third act I have never cried that much watching a movie. Probably 30 minutes of water exiting my eyes. The decisions they made were so brave. That part where Grace tried to escape and they made him look bad was really interesting. The characters grew on me a lot. The security guard and the German Girlboss were people I want to know IRL. The ending was amazing IMO. Do you guys think that they made the enclosure look like that because its the only part of Earth Grace could remember?

the movie is leagues ahead of the book it's insane.

Nope, similar ending. In the book, he goes to Erid and has crippling scurvy and whatnot, and was eating Taumoeba soup on the ship until he could regain energy. On Erid, the Eridians clone his flesh to create "me burgers" that act as a meat substitute so he doesn't die. And he's all hunched over and shit, in the movie he looked perfextly fit despite his clothes being inexplicably old, and this was an annoying oversight.

He still teaches the rock kids and is happy to be with his best friend Rocky on a planet that adores him, he is just noticeably frail/sick. Maybe it's depressing if you're thinking about how Grace's lifespan on Erid would be the equivalent of a human owning a pet rat.

The movie blows chunks
The custom made ship propelled by astrophage somehow doesn't use a breeder. It needs 2M units of it.
Then the ship itself is somehow not fit for purpose with the goose putting cables everywhere
And it has very little automation too. Since its originally designed for a 3 man crew you would expect heaps of automation.
And this EVA to fetch the sample was reckless.
In the Martian the only sci-fi is the ion drive on the Hermes.
This movie is out of control with its world.

>>220453696
The part that really broke me was when they were talking about how he didn't have the fuel to return, but Rocky would give him some of his... when there's a whole fucking line of the stuff flowing from Tau Ceti to the planet, just outside the window.

Disregarding suspension of belief as you are clearly fucking retarded so i have to spell out simple shit for you.
He was "fired" from a job before he was a school teacher. Fired for insulting the leading scholar in his field.
in case you didn't realize, and lets face it, with your level of retardation we can all gather a few things. You are american...retarded and have no penis/have had your penis chopped of.
So with that retardation you have no comprehension of the exclusivity and exclusion or ostracization of academia.
What that means for a simpleton like you retards is if you disrespect people in your field, your superiors, they will make it so you never get work within your field again,
Meaning he then had to "settle" for lesser skilled, lesser paid work. Which he actually enjoys.
It also shows he is more skilled than just one field as he was teaching physics and audio sciences (not sure exactly) as well as knew about astro-physics in the flashback of him working at the school.
As IRL, someone in the field of science have a broad understanding of the subjects before they choose to follow a dedicated area in the subject.
Same with medicine.

Of course, this is movies is aimed at teenagers with a persecution complex, So I can guess why it resonated with a mediocrity like you.
>Make X sound (rocky in alien language) and the program will play Y english sound (rocky)
You need to know which sound is equivalent to which English sound first you megabrainlet. That itself is a massive task. You also need to understand grammar. It's telling in your mind language translation all boils down to "matching words".

I know you stupid fucking uppity fag. Can you speak a language with learning just 250 words? How many words did he add later on? How did he do that? How did he learn the grammar? How did he get to the point of translating good enough to talk about quantum physics?

Also, knowing that "I need to match sound x to sound y" and "I know how to program my laptop to automatically match these sounds and play them as audio" for me are not the same.

It's hilarious to me that this anon is seething and calling me a brainlet when smart people to him are fucking wizards, it's that Sherlock greentext all over agin. Grace is very smart and well educated in the field of molecular biology. There is no indication given in the movie that he would have the training or understanding of how to solve all the other problems he encounters. Pretending that he would be fine because "UH HE"S VERY SMART, THE MOVIE SAYS SO" is peak retard interpretation of how smart people navigate the world.

Yes, the number of unique words people actually use in day-to-day life is shockingly small.

Exactly how he did it the time it was shown: "I don't have that word, what does it mean?" ... "Okay, now say it again." ... *types in word after taking audio sample*
>How did he learn the grammar?
I don't think he really did, the translation is very basic and just spits out approximate words without actually rearranging the grammar at all.
>How did he get to the point of translating good enough to talk about quantum physics?
Lots of time skips, we can assume he made lots of progress on the translations in that time.

The subtle thing is too that later on they both start understanding each others language. It implies rocky is incredibly smart by not needing a translator, though the translator is done for the viewers benefit, idk if it was in the book.
Then later grace can fully understand rocky with no translation needed.
That retard talking about grammar too.
Even in the movie racky says "question" and "statement" implying they had learned that they need to separate the 2 with a word to understand.
Yet that retard will never understand because he will forever be a retard.

But grace has a PHD in molecular biologists, and he spent months embedded in a space mission, learning every little detail about it.
Beside, the movie goes out of its way to point out that he is a shitty pilot and he is very clumsy during space walks. It just happens to be enough to get the job done.

It's not as small as 250 I cam tell you that.

So he doesn't know the word the alien us speaking and asks it what it means. Now, that clarifies a lot of things. Just ask the alien what the word means lmao.
>>
>>
>>220455748
Grace even says that Eridians are advanced beyond humans in some ways and behind humans in other ways. It's easy to assume they're skilled with language, and we see Rocky understand Grace without a translator, so you can just extrapolate from there.
>>
>>220455738
Eridians have eidetic memory, they never forget anything. When Grace speaks rocky just remembers it all and as the book goes on his grammar improves, although sometimes he does it wrong as a joke.
Rocky also doesn't speak with eridian syntax, he speaks rough english with his own tones, and modifies them because some frequencies they use cannot be heard by Grace.
>>
>>220455748
In the books, it is explained that Eridians are basically biological computers (their species never invented computers), so it is easy for him to learn human language.
The movie glosses over a lot of details explained in the book, as the focus is on the emotional aspect of the friendship between Rocky and Grace.

Yes, if you know 250 words and the other person uses a new word, you can ask them to use the 250 words you know to define the new word. That's literally how learning new words works in real life.
>>
>>
>>220455782
>It's not as small as 250 I cam tell you that.
When he said "250 words" he described it as "I can order in restaurants" meaning it's the most basic knowledge of the language. It takes them a while to develop a vocabulary. But it is cumulative/exponential, the more of a language you know the easier it becomes to learn.

a lot of people managed to "decode" native american languages by just spending time with them pointing out stuff for them to say in their own language until they could communicate with them

I liked it. Watched it after Oppenheimer, which is all about his security clearance, funny how the Goose just gets it immediately no questions asked. Maybe they can make a sequel where he returns, and they grill him about his ties to Eridians for 3 hours.

It's also why lot's of geological objects have names in English that just mean "mountain" or "big river", or whatever, in the native language, because some idiot just pointed to it and asked the locals "What's that called?" and then wrote down the answer.

They mostly felt unnecessary. I'd be interested in seeing a cut of the movie with the flashbacks removed just to see if it still works, because I suspect it would work and even improve the pacing.

>The custom made ship propelled by astrophage somehow doesn't use a breeder
That's a dumb critique.
Where exactly are you getting the energy to breed them at the scale required for interstellar travel from?
>>
>>
>>220453696
Why use a breeder (a potential point of failure) when you can just fill her up and let her go?
Keep in mind, in the books they were talking about this issue. A lot of the stuff we use works fine on earth but can get tricky in a 0 G environment. So they made the ship spin to get gravity instead of inventing new stuff that may break.
It's all in all not that unreasonable to have little automation on the ship (except the sci fi med robot).
>>
>>
>>220458369
>Why use a breeder (a potential point of failure)
Never mind the point of failure issue, how are you even breeding them at a relevant scale?
In the book it took covering the entire Sahara desert in specially designed solar panels to trickle charge up just enough astrophage over a period of years to make a one way trip on the most minimal spaceship for the task. How are you breeding relativistic energy release levels of charged astrophage while traveling through interstellar space?

It was good, I didn't feel like I wasted 2 and a half hours and I hate movies over 2 hours with a passion. Only part I didn't like is how Rocky has emotion in his TTS, like he can say amaze with excitement or boredom I doubt the program can adapt to that shit.

Thought about that too, him being able to use "bravest" instead of "brave" when they were saying goodbye was another. But rocky is such an amazing character that I can't even care. Little fella is the greatest movie character I've seen in recent years so I'll forgive them taking these little liberties to make him even more endearing.

Piracy didn't cause movies to become bad. Piracy is all the rage and they still pay 9 figures to make horrible garbage movies, it's not as if there's not a lot of money still in the industry regardless of how much people pirate. Those horrible movies cause piracy, not the other way around.

Wish they'd had more difficulty communicating, I don't care about "realistic hard sci-fi" but Goose having a magical insta-translator felt kind of cheap.
>Give astrophage me give eat astrophage me eat astrophage give me eat astrophage give me you
>>
>>220466141
Don't necessarily disagree with you but I do think the easiness Rocky had in translating english kinda makes sense.
First the eridians' most acute sense is their hearing which they use to "see" as well, then their fotographic memory is so good that they basically never had the need to evolve to create calculators and then Rocky was one of 23 eridians chosen to go on the most important mission their race ever had to face so it's fair to say he's also one of the sharpest minds in their world.
So with all this said for me it's believable that all Rocky needed was for Grace to repeat a word once or twice within the context of something like pointing to his name or pointing to an object and eventually some more complex sentences and he would be able to figure out what Grace meant rather quickly.
>>
>>220466340
Accidentaly deleted the last sentence.
Basically what I meant to say is that Rocky can both understand Grace easily and then would also be able to speak in a simple and dumb enough manner for the computer translator to work well.

I thought it would be really onions and reddit since that's what /tv/ said but I ended up
liking it and would watch it again purely for how comfy the parts in space where. To bad these types of movies don't make any money and would need to have some politishit message for polspergs and redditoddlers to go see it enmass.

The movie is adored by both audience and critics, it has made 600 million from a 200 million budget and it's still in theatres because people are still going to see it.
Almost certainly apart from Odyssey and Dune this will probably be the most successful movie of the year anon.

That’s the point he wasted his talent because he was a coward at the end of the day. There’s a reason why he didn’t have anyone and relegated himself to a being a teacher. Because it was easier to get a classroom of kids to think he was cool than to get actual adults to respect him.

>>220437952
The Martian is actively reddit. This is not. I guess it has less to do with Weir getting better but with ryan only being by himself most of the film. This could have been far worse if Chris Pratt was Grace. THAT would have been reddit.

you are not very smart.
snydershitters said the same thing. "look, our shit movies is discussed!"
Saying "no, it's shit" is not discussing, and acknowledging your bad movies is only a thing because you can't stop making excuses for them.
Notice how nobody makes "snyder bad" thread anymore since they stopped coming here making "snyder misunderstood god" threads?

And they all fucking die. Drive guy came up with everything and is the only that survived. Very based movie if you ask me.
A bit of simping for the old wrinkly whore, but Drive guy is redeemed when he tells her to fuck off and goes to a new planet with his rock friends.

It costs him literally nothing to send the probes.
Just from a purely utilitarian perspective, you'd have to be a massive retard not to do it
>send the probes and be revered as a hero and savior of humanity for millennia to come
>at some point if you manage to get to earth after all, you'd be revered as a god and could get as much pussy and anything as you want
OR
>don't send the probes and you'll be considered a failure at best, a monster at worst, and you would never be able to set foot back on earth again
The only real sacrifice was about whether he should opt for saving Rocky's planet too or not.
