Smart, funny thriller.

Rating: Null/10 (27 January 2017)

I'll start with the obvious: the book is better than the movie. The movie felt like it was shortened down (and it was, a lot was forgone from the book). But, Matt Damon was fantastic his sarcastic smart humor was an integral part of this thriller. Overall I would highly recommend watching it if you are at all interested in space exploration. After reading the book it was nice to see that almost everything depicted in my mind from the narration was brought to life on the screen. Andy Weir did a fantastic job and he put forth the extra effort to make it close to scientifically accurate. He has said himself that when writing it he would review his work and decide if Neil DeGrasse Tyson would approve, and then modify it accordingly. Truly an excellent job.
