Fantasy as in fantasy style movie, or it was all in their heads?

[(Anonymous)]

The latter, I'm pretty sure. It's definitely something that they nod towards in the movie, and it's something that was a much bigger point of the original short story IIRC.

[(Anonymous)]

That's what I assumed, which is why I was perplexed by anon-above-me's response so I figured maybe I was interpreting it wrong, lol.

[(Anonymous)]

Anon-above: I just don't think that the movie does enough in terms of providing evidence to where you can take the idea seriously. It gestures towards it a few times but ultimately, questioning consciousness and reality is just not really what the movie's about or what it's interested in doing. IMO

Not going to lie that it's been... 18 years (I had to go look up the release date, sorry!) since I've seen it, so I won't argue how WELL it went with the premise of it being all in his head, but I do remember coming away from it thinking that was the intention.

18 years (I had to go look up the release date, sorry!)

Uhhhh... I hate to tell you, anon, but if you saw it when it was released, it's been more than 18 years

[(Anonymous)]

... Jesus fucking Christ I need sleep that somehow I did 1990 to 2018 is 18 years. *cry* THE YEAR 2000 WAS ONLY A FEW YEARS AGO OKAY!

[(Anonymous)]

NAYRT

I do this all the time!!! But it's usually when someone mentions their birth year. "what? you were born in 1998?!? Doesn't that make you eleven???" And then they have to remind me that, no. No it does not ;w;

AYRT

Right? My niece was born in 2000 and I really keep forgetting she's old enough to drink this year. Like wtf is time between 2000 and now that it goes all screwy when I try to math?

[(Anonymous)]

Closer to 30 years.

I think they've actually said that while they left it a little ambiguous, they intended for it being in his head to be what actually happened.

[(Anonymous)]

The tech snidely remarks “blue skies on mars, how original” or something in the background so nah, the movie wasn’t ambiguous just on that alone imo. Hope the book was better but idk.

[(Anonymous)]

DA
Yeah.
IIRC, the Martian sky is pink according to astronomers.

[(Anonymous)]

NA

I haven't watched the movie in a while (also spoilers in this post) but I believe in the movie the Martian sky is pink, or reddish-orange, or something, until the end of the movie when a deus-ex-machina alien device gives Mars an Earth-like, blue atmosphere.
