Loved the book. Happy to see a big budget movie where the hero is science.

probably gonna be a good movie tbh, but so tired of always seeing the same actors. gosling. dwayne johnson. hemsworth. holland. zendaya. de armas.

Seems like a lot to squeeze into a movie but I’ll definitely be checking it out
Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yeah, I can’t see how you cram all that into 2 hours. Stuff will get cut.
My bet is that a lot of the earth stuff and waking up in space stuff will get truncated to hell.
SolidShake@lemmy.world 2 months ago
My guess is 2 and a half hour movie. Scenes will be like the book going back and forth, and they’ll cut a lot of filler chit chat he has with rocky. You could skip the language barrier parts with a montage or a “months later” type thing.
When I watch a movie based off a book though. I will NEVER compare the two and treat them as two completely different things. Makes media more enjoyable that way.

Fuck, i finally should read it, The Martian was amazing, and The Egg is a classic.

I haven’t read The Martian, I have read Project Hail Mary and I enjoyed it, it’s an easy read.

There’s also Artemis, a thriller set on a lunar colony. A little less science than The Martian or Hail Mary, but still fun.

Seems like they him sufficiently dorky.
Rockys hand in the window is somehow exactly how I pictured it. Can't wait the Poop Scene!synapse1278@lemmy.world 2 months ago

I which they would go for less famous actors sometimes. It’s going to be hard to immerse in the story when thinking about Ken from Barbie the whole time. It’s not that he plays bad, he is a very good actor, but this is how my brain works.

Yeah they spolled some of the best parts of the book. I will go see this because its one of my favorite novels, but have no hope thay won’t fuck it up like they did with the Martain.
PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 2 months ago
Yeah. I get that they couldn’t just have the trailer be “this guy wakes up in a spaceship and we can’t tell you anything else,” but maybe they should have.
I was willing to forgive them for spoiling the context of the mission (even though it’s still significant), but come on man. You guys knew that was a secret. You knew.

The Martian movie was great though? Obviously not as good as the book but still.
Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yeah, but I feel like the real fun of that book is, like with the Martin, the repeat science MacGyver events.

Yeah I’m pleased for everyone who seems to know this book but I don’t and now I don’t feel like there’s any point i seeing this.
