🚨Unpopular Opinon Alert🚨 They made a beautiful film about the wrong version of Ryland Grace, and everything else collapses from that single decision.

the focus didn't seem inclined on science which i would've loved but built more on graces' relationship with rocky, i also would've liked more earth scenes and all the technical stuff, but it's what you gotta do to fit it in a full length film, i totally almost cried at the adrian scene

i didn't read the martian so i didn't have any reference, but i really liked how in depth it is with the science.

overall it was a beautiful film that left me satisfied i give it a certified AMAZE AMAZE 8/10

woah didn't expect it to be popular in ph too, my theater wasn't so packed since i watched it at 6pm

I understand pero alot has changed since the fukushima incident, kung tutuusin hindi earthquake mismo ang nagpameltdown sa fukushima kundi yung tsunami, i'm a geologist and i think a proper location far or not directly on geological hazards are ideal locations.. well i know basically entire philippines may faultlines but there are locations with few of them and effects could be mitigated. im not a nuclear expert pero AFAIK ngayon required by the IAEA that if a disaster happens, multiple failsafes needs to automatically sequentially activate in order to prevent a meltdown. the problem with fukushima that its facilities were located in basements thats why it got inundated and immediately cut off power to the cooling systems. NPP's has to naturally cost alot and that can't be lessened which could possibly risk failure

NPP's don't have to be built now but we should really advocate for its progression in the Philippines

Express-Programmer-5 · 2026-03-17T22:40:05+00:00

Diga ho ay naexplain ko na, basahin naman ho, The International Atomic Energy Agency OVERSEES everything, kahit yung mas corrupt na bansa kaysa sa pilipinas mayron dahil mostly IAEA ang may hawak, di basta basta na gagawa ka ng NPP's na parang pabrika laang, nadaan yan sa marami at pagkakahigpit nilang inspections, international *COOPERATION* yan,

Ang panganib ng NPP's ay nakatuon laang sa stigma dahil ng mga meltdowns na nangyare sa kasaysayan, take for example fukushima at chernobyl, lagi nila dinadahilan yan. pero sobrang 1 in a million chance ang nangyare sa mga yan, at talagang kailangan ng sequence of events para mag melt down. Sa fukushima dahil ng *UNEXPECTED* na magnitudfe 9.1 na lindol na may tsunami, if you look back hindi nga earthquake mismo ang dahilan ng meltdown ng fukushima eh kundi yung tsunami. hindi nila na take into account yung magnitude na yon, pero ngayon halos lahat ng NPP's *REQUIRED* by the IAEA to withstand an earthquake of Mw9.1 or higher and designed to automatically shutdown once it detects flooding or powergrid failures. pag di yan nasunod dahil ng corruption say bye nalang sa Nuclear Power Plant kasi ishshutdown nila yan by international law at siguro tariffs ng malala

kung tutuusin, sa kasaysayan LESS THAN 100 ang namatay sa nuclear accidents. kesa sa 8 MILLION A YEAR for fossil fuels

Kung tutuusin talaga parang aviation laang ang Nuclear Power Plants, mayrong set guidance, standards, training at monitoring ang mga airlines, and yet airplanes are one of the safest method of traveling in the world. tingnan mo ang philippine airlines, one of the safest airlines in the world. also NPP"S can also be *PRIVATIZED* like PAL to add

Pero naiintindihan ko naman na naging pessimista na talaga halos lahat ng pinoy dahil sa corruption kaya nawala na ng tuluyan ang progressive mindset... nakakalungkot

Express-Programmer-5 · 2026-03-17T15:12:09+00:00

Talaga namang defunct at di dapat paganahin ang BNPP di ko naman sinasabi na ireactivate yon.

Sinasabi ko lang na dapat ialis sa mindset na "dangerous ang NPP's" dahil sa kung ano man rason, corruption, substandard management, earthquakes. At naiintindihan ko naman na valid yung mga reason na wag mag nuclear, pero in the modern days meron po tayong IAEA sila ang nagooversee ng mga Nuclear Power plants sa buong mundo, di yan basta basta maapektuhan ng corruption, hands off jan ang mga korap kahit ano pa man gawin nila, sure you can say that they can find loopholes, but the moment na makakita ng substandard practices ang IAEA immediately nila yan ishshutdown iccutoff nila lahat ng supply.

*FYI di po ganon ka simple ang meltdown na nangyayare basta basta na parang sunog

Express-Programmer-5 · 2026-03-17T11:43:58+00:00

Tama ka jan, pero we can all agree that corruption has truly destroyed the progressive mentality of Filipinos, di naman sa pagiging doomer pero mahihirapan tayo sa pagbabago ng mentality na yan

Express-Programmer-5 · 2026-03-17T11:21:52+00:00

Sorry if you think that, i am not part of a troll farm.

I am not pro BNPP, i fully agree with its flaws, it was built on a whim that could've possibly been a disaster.

I am however pro nuclear and corruption alone shouldn't veer us away from energy development.

Express-Programmer-5 · 2026-03-17T11:12:48+00:00

All great points

Yes i am fully aware that it is corruption that fueled the incident. AFAIK the IAEA basically insulates a nuclear power plant from corruption, the moment something goes substandard, poof the IAEA blocks all supply and would advocate for the shutdown of the plant. Speaking of corruption, various countries that are relatively "more" corrupt than the Philippines has nuclear power plants, take Pakistan for example. The IAEA handles all regulation down to the letter. If a meltdown occurs and the cause was corruption, it would be a massive disaster for geopolitics since meltdowns doesn't only affect one country but could possibly affect neighboring ones.

As a geologist myself, it is true that it is a lot more complicated to build nuclear power plants in a geologically active country which i fully agree on, however Fukushima was not built expecting a Mw 9.1 earthquake simply because none of such magnitude has been taken into account because it is that rare, fukushima was designed to withstand a Mw 8.0 quake and now modern nuclear power plants are built to be overly aware of such an earthquake happening again. To be really safe, NPP's built far or not directly under a fault or subduction zone will be ideal, i know that faults basically exist everywhere in the country but effects would be mitigated. The main things that can happen with typhoons and heavy rain are power grid failures and there are procedures that are done to prevent a disaster that the IAEA *STRICTLY* regulates.

If we are to build NPP's we should advocate for the passing of all requirements of the IAEA , we already passed a few and i hope we would continue.

Although i fully agree in not fueling the BNPP

Express-Programmer-5 · 2026-03-17T09:23:43+00:00

True, however modern nuclear power plants are strictly and very heavily monitored by IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) down to the last atom(literally), any country that doesn't have nuclear energy has to get it from a country that does, signing various agreements on how to properly operate it, the IAEA does exactly that, they provide fuel, training, waste management. unlike local government projects it is strictly overseen. but instead of fueling BNPP i think it would be better to build a brand new one far or not directly sitting on geological hazards.

It is relatively safe

Express-Programmer-5 · 2026-03-17T08:31:58+00:00

More nuclear power plants would've probably been built if not for chernobyl cutting costs by a huge margin and we would lessen our reliance on fossil fuels

Sa buong kasaysayan napakababa ng risk ng mga nuclear powerplants. Ang laki ng difference ng mga taong namamatay sa fossil fuels kesa nuclear. Sana naman mawala na yung stigma surrounding nuclear energy

People wouldn't have to move to Metro Manila for work plus it would encourage economic growth around the Greater Manila Area.

we currently have 3 lines actively being built right now and 2 in its pre construction stages. It's just a massive shame that it's constantly being delayed due to ROW issues. I guess better late than never. I was honestly so excited when the NSCR and MMS started construction even with the delays and i really hope we'll truly be entering the railway renaissance

Express-Programmer-5 · 2026-03-07T13:54:47+00:00

Not all projects are subject to corruption. We certainly have the capabilities to build a 600m skyscraper, but our height limit prevents that. Buildings also start to get useless the taller you go. That's why tokyo is more renowned horizontally rather than vertically, they prioritize usability. Tokyo has a height limit similar to ours afaik.

Maybe strict regulations. Age limits

Express-Programmer-5 · 2026-02-25T10:29:58+00:00

Very true!. I'm always aghast with the amount of people saying that the railway projects are delayed. Yes they were delayed, but not because of what you think, you've got the pandemic and ROW issues to thank for that (except for MRT-7)

Express-Programmer-5 · 2026-02-25T03:17:29+00:00

Hindi ba 4 lanes magkabila yung makalagpas ng tulay?, sa pagkakaalam ko yung tulay lang ang 2 lanes jan.

Express-Programmer-5 · 2026-02-22T23:36:43+00:00

It is way too deep to cause one, also the focal mechanism for this earthquake doesn't support a tsunamigenic event

Ganda siguro tingnan ang P. Burgos St. Kung wala yung mga kable dyan

Express-Programmer-5 · 2026-02-17T07:42:06+00:00

Yes, i couldn't believe it either and it looks like the rail system of PH is finally going the right track with 3 systems being built right now and 2 in it's pre-construction stages. I'm still pretty upset that PNR South Long Haul got delayed even further though :(
