I had read the novel version of The Martian but was curious about the movie. Like most films, the movie skipped some details from the book, however I do know that films have limited time and can only add the most essential details. One specific detail that was skipped, however, was when astronaut Mark Watney lost communication with NASA after uncovering Pathfinder. It was a crucial point in Watney’s mental health and NASA’s hopes to rescue him. I will say, this was one of the only faults in this movie that I couldn’t rationalize. I honestly enjoyed the movie and it’s star-studded cast. Typically when a cast is only full of well-known actors the plot of the movie is terrible and the film itself is only for money. This is not the case in The Martian. All in all, I rate the movie 8/10!
