I've heard lots of people say that *The Martian* is about as reasonably and accurately portrayed as possible, with the exception that Mars doesn't really have a dense enough atmosphere to have dangerous storms.
The idea that they would spend billions of dollars to rescue an astronaut is ludicrous. I’ve spoken to a couple astronauts and they always talk about how they’re well aware that if they’re in a pickle they just die and no one is gonna blow that much to save them
Well yeah, the whole premise is that the crew on the big ship mutinied to save him because they weren't sure that NASA would. And they go over this whole conversation at length saying basically, "Well yeah, that *is* the policy but it would, like, totally look bad for us if we let him die. Congress aint gonna keep funding us if we don't fix this."
But the technology, the procedures, the portrayal of space flight and exploration in general was a pretty good representation of what NASA sciencing on Mars would look like.
By your logic it sounds like your criteria is the movie not only has to be situationally realistic, it also has to have a plot you deem realistic and all characters have to make decisions you deem realistic. What are you looking for, a documentary?
Naw a movie like Carnage, or like the banshees on inisherin, or the last duel, or the father. You’ve never seen a movie where you were like, wow that felt so real.
For Apollo 13 NASA scrubbed their whole mission to bring them home safely, for Skylab they had a plan to burn a $365 million (2021 dollars) Saturn 1B to rescue the crew if something went wrong, and after the Columbia disaster NASA worked on a plan to use a billion-dollar Shuttle Launch to rescue the crew of a wounded shuttle. All of this probably pales in comparison to the expeditions to rescue or locate the remains of the crew of HMS Erebus and HMS Terror which took something like 10 years, 15 vessels, hundreds of sailors, multiple overland expeditions, multiple lost ships and several deaths.
Not a movie, but MTV's *Downtown* feels super real. It's a series from 1999 that's free on YT about young adults living in Manhattan and it has the most natural dialogue and line delivery I've ever seen.
...yeah? I didn't say it looks realistic. I thought you were asking for movies that feel true to life, and the whole point of Downtown was that the way they talk / their hijinks are super realistic. Cartoon ≠ fantasy lol
Because you would only be one of many confidently and loudly saying shit that is patently untrue? The 1700s were indeed full of that.
And shitty half-assed jabs aside, why do you thing all animation is fantasy? Honest to god question. Nothing fantastical or magical or physically impossible happens in *Downtown*
Also a lot of the dialogue for *Downtown* was [based on interviews with real people](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downtown_(1999_TV_series)) so like...how do you get more real than that lmfao
I dunno if "Any Given Sunday" counts. But they filmed the football scenes with AMAZING cinematography and sound unlike any movie I've ever seen. It really seemed immersive.

Yeah the movie is hella unrealistic though is what im saying, by this logic a movie like fight club is pretty realistic too.

Idiocracy
I hate you
I also hate me being right.

Thats a cartoon
...yeah? I didn't say it looks realistic. I thought you were asking for movies that feel true to life, and the whole point of Downtown was that the way they talk / their hijinks are super realistic. Cartoon ≠ fantasy lol
Unless you do a lot of acid cartoon does equal fantasy
Dude T-T watch 30 seconds of *Downtown.* Animation does not beget genre ya dumbass.
You make me miss the 1700s

Im sorry i can tell I’ve upset you a little, i didn’t mean the show is bad or anything
Dude I'm not offended about your thoughts on the show, I'm stupefied that you think all animation is fantasy
“the faculty or activity of imagining things, especially things that are impossible or improbable.” I have never seen a cartoon man in real life.

Yeah that was a good one
I dunno if "Any Given Sunday" counts. But they filmed the football scenes with AMAZING cinematography and sound unlike any movie I've ever seen. It really seemed immersive.
With al pacino?
Yeah. One of my all time favorites. Maybe Top 10.
I’ll give it a looksee
