After all, he’s had his fair share of equipment failing after being used past its expiration date.

Watney would probably tell us that 2015 iPhones and Galaxies will probably not even work on 2035 Earth.

If in 20 years from now Google has not moved past Material Design, if we’re still going to need Home buttons on Samsung phones (or iPhones for that matter), if GoPro cameras won’t become even better-looking and somehow smaller, if there aren’t advanced portable computers at NASA… well then we might actually forget a Watney on Mars. There might be other similar inconsistencies in the movie when it comes to Earth tech, but the mobile-related ones are the most obvious. Yes, the same team that put out this amazing mockup presentation of the Ares 3 mission, a 17-page mission guide that details not only the backgrounds of the main characters, but also the tech used to deploy Ares missions to Mars, failed to imagine the future of tech back on Earth. But if you watch the movie, you might notice several things that seem out of place in the year 2035.

The technology that fictional astronaut Mark Watney (Matt Damon) uses to try to survive on the planet is inspired by existing technology, as NASA itself has revealed.īut there’s plenty of laughably outdated tech in The Martian, the kind that tech fans will immediately notice. The film paints a believable picture of the first human missions to Mars. The Martian is a spectacular movie, so you should definitely see it.
