you'll love it or you'll hate it

Rating: 7/10 (13 December 2015)

First of all I read the book and it's not one that lends itself readily to visual media, while the movie is beautiful to look at the book was more an inner intellectual struggle, with a lot of the dialogue going on in his head. So having said that, I loved the movie which was a surprise because I thought it would have made for a slow moving movie. And for some I'm sure it will seem that way. If you aren't enthralled by shuttle launches and realistic space travel etc, you're probably gonna want to put a gun in your mouth about half way thru.
but the thought of travel and survival on another planet captivates me, apparently. So I may be over rating this movie. So I think you either love OR hate this one. I think the actors all did a good job and even the tugging on the heart strings wasn't too too overdone. And they did a good job of giving you the feel of the book.
