Since the book was a huge hit a movie was a no-brainer, we could tell it was going to happen, but "who would they cast and who would write and or direct it?" were big questions for us. How much could go so wrong for just one guy? The tension, the drama, and most of all the humor was what kept us up late at night turning pages one after another. As one problem was solved another problem arose, and in fantastic form, Andy Weir would frequently have Mark Watney say exactly what we were thinking. We finished it inside of just a few nights, every page made you want to keep going and find out what happened next to Mark as he "scienced the S#!%" out of his situation. 'The Martian' was an absolute blast to read and damn near impossible to put down. It proves to be a great way to unwind after a long day, spend some time together while also staying caught up on our reading list. My wife and I have a thing where we find an entertaining book and read it together at night. To that end, I'd say screenwriter Drew Goddard hit a home run with his adaptation work. More than capturing the main events and casting the right person to play a particular character, I've long felt that adapting a book, comic book or a play is all about capturing the heart and soul of the original work and not being a complete slave to the source material. Taking a play or a novel and making it something new isn't as easy as photocopying pages and putting them on screen - although some filmmakers have tried that with some comic book adaptations. Since Shannon already did a great job breaking down the movie, the only thing I can offer for this look at 'The Martian 3D' is my thoughts on the film as an adaptation of the Andy Weir novel.Īdapting source material isn't an easy task. Partly because it was director Ridley Scott's best film since 'Gladiator' (I actually really loved that movie). I saw it on an IMAX screen and it blew me away. 'The Martian' sat somewhere in the middle offering a fantastic blend of science fiction with real-world practical science to be believable. It was a space epic that didn't take itself so seriously as to command the scrutiny of something along the lines of '2001: A Space Odyssey' nor was it frivolous throwaway popcorn fun like countless other space adventure films. 'The Martian' for me was damn good theater-going entertainment, plain and simple. Nutt already wrote a pretty fantastic review for ' The Martian 2D,' I am going to forgo my standard review approach since I agree with basically all of his points.
