The Martian

The Martian was excellent. Gripping tale will have you on the edge of your seat while the positive message puts the best of mankind front and center - courage, loyalty, survival instincts, working together, creativity, ingenuity, scientific challenges etc. Ridley Scott directed an excellent cast.

Work the problem!

We saw the 3D version. Seemed worth the extra for the glasses.

I read the book first and loved it. We saw the movie over the weekend, and it did the book justice.

I have not seen a movie in some seven years...in a theater....I am going to go to this one. Thanks, Dave

Thanks for the review Edward! I rarely get out to the movies but this one sounds like it will be worth it!

Book WAS GREAT! Can't wait to see the movie! I heard on NPR that the movie has about 10% of the science the book has and even taking ALL that out, still a long movie,

I really want to see it but I'll probably wait until it comes out on disk.

It was really excellent. I love the book and even though the story had to be condensed - and there are a few small changes - it kept the feel of original. Well worth seeing.

We saw the movie this weekend, but not in 3D. I liked it well enough to go back and see it again in 3D if you think it's worth it. What I loved most was that they didn't invent any junk science to move the story along. Everything seemed plausible including the travel time to Mars and back.

Not sure I would have survived. I try to eat a low carb diet and potatoes are not on the list of approved foods.

Interesting, potatoes are the highest calorie yielding crop.

As a Biologist I love the phrase, "Mars will come to fear my botany powers." Looking forward to seeing this at the w/e.

Read the book and loved it. Going to see the movie tomorrow. Glad to read here that the movie is true to the book. I was worried they wouldn't be able to capture the 'funny' that was a continuing theme in the book. Mark Watney is brilliant, resourceful, funny and snarky. Loved him.

I own a farm just outside of Mars Pa. I see Martians all the time.

Thank you for the review. I have been wanting to see that. :-)
