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.

    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.

    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 fun if dumb in a lot of ways. I did like how the main character wasn't this completely altruistic fearless dude.

    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.

    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 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

    I heard the author sucks.

    He even has no issue with using AI.
