I saw it last night and really liked it. The book seemed perfect for an adaptation, and I think they pulled off the tricky bits.
I'm old so I've seen lots of movies, but mostly in the distant past. In the 90s it was almost a weekly thing. This century it's very rare.
I never read the book lol...
I have attention span issues when too many words...
All I knew was:
The Martian = Good
Project Hail Mary = Same Author
Space = Cool
Therefore: Must also be good
Also never read The Martian...
2 hour is easy to find...
Reading a book will take like a week for me...
Basically the same thing so why bother (at least thats what my brain thinks, hard to justify reading words that I have trouble picturing...)
