Review of The Martian (2015) by Podunk411 — 01 Oct 2015
We thoroughly enjoyed the movie, The Martian. Having read & loved the book, I went into the theater with some reservations, and yes there are some big things missing, changed & moved around in the adaptation (for instance, I definitely prefer how the book ends versus the film) but that's to be expected.
Overall the movie kept to the heart of Andy Weir's story, so bravo for that! Casting was pretty great --Matt Damon, Jessica Chastain & Michael Pena were particularly great, along with Sean Bean (& the fantastic LotR in-joke).
We saw it in 3D, which was effective in a several key sequences, but the film is strong enough on its own that you don't need to see it in 3D if you're not into that.
