The Book is Better

Rating: 7/10 (10 December 2015)

Those of you who have read the book, "The Martian" are probably going to be somewhat disappointed with the movie version.
First of all, in the book, our protagonist talks to himself all the time, and his dialog with himself is very funny. Much of this is left out of the movie, and therefore, a lot of the funny moments are nonexistent.
The movie also leaves out much of the harrowing trip to the rocket that will get him off the planet and the many obstacles that he has to overcome to get there.
The costumes are excellent and the scenery is believable, but this movie did not do justice to the excellent and exciting book, "The Martian."
