    Honestly, I’m not even going to see it. The book was so insanely good that I cannot entertain the possibility of a movie straying even one millimeter from the source material.

      I don’t know if the same people are involved in this one, but I love the movie version of the Martian - I think it’s a very faithful adaptation, with acceptable changes for the medium. Slightly more grandiose and optimistic ending, possibly to be palatable to a wide audience, but nothing that ruined the experience.

      If it’s even close to that balance of good adaptation and good movie, it will absolutely be worth watching.
