It’s free to watch in the UK right now. I absolutely LOVED it. I can’t tell you how much. In fact it has surprised me as I’ve been suffering from severe anhedonia - the inability to experience pleasure or enjoyment from anything - quite severely for a very long time. If you are looking for something to watch I really recommend it.
I heard the author sucks.
He even has no issue with using AI.
It was a good movie. I liked it better as a book because it scratches a different itch. Some things definitely don’t translate from book to movie, and while I think they did a good job, some parts of it feel empty in ways the book wasn’t. The things they chose to cut definitely made sense because it would be boring and/or confusing if included in the movie format.
I really want to read the book but my cognitive ability and concentration are shot to hell.
I listened to it as an audiobook. I also struggle with actually reading things due to my ADHD. Audiobooks are my saviour for that.
Maybe I should give them a try.
It was fun if dumb in a lot of ways. I did like how the main character wasn’t this completely altruistic fearless dude.
It’s a good movie. Glad you found something you enjoyed.
Thank you.
i listened to the audio-book a number of years ago and really enjoyed it so i was hesitant to watch the movie but it was poetry good and stayed pretty true to the book
Andy Weir is very good at using science and problem solving to drive his plots forward. I like to imagine it as what humans could accomplish without class oppression standing in our way.
I’ve listened to the audiobook and really liked it but O hesitated watching the movie out of fear of dissapointment. But seeing such positive reviews I’ll give it a shot 🙂
It was good, had amazing visuals and had a lot of emotional weight for a family movie. I have not really watched movies that were made in the recent years, so it was nice to know there were good ones out there.
I have. There are a lot of things to criticize about it, and it has a bit of the Hollywood stank, but I personally was in love.
a while back me and my partner watched The Sheep Detectives, which made me cry for sheep, and then a smaller while back this movie made me tear up for a rock. solid films both
I thought it was fine. My uncle hated it so much he left the theater part way through. It’s definitely no where near bad enough to walk out of
What didn’t he like about it?
He thought that Rocky was too cutsie and was pandering to the audience, and he’s a little tired of Ryan Gosling (that part is kinda valid IMO)
This was the first Ryan Gosling film I’ve ever seen so I can’t say I felt the same.
