If anybody has seen The Martian, they will know it's basically a mix of Cast Away, Gravity, MacGyver, and Guardians of Galaxy, for a mix of different reasons, but mostly: Matt Damon is trapped on Mars, his crew has left him behind without knowing he was alive, he is genius when it comes to solving problems that would make us normal people give up on surviving (making water, growing plants, etc.), and he's always listening to Disco music (similar to the main character in GoG listening to his walkman), respectively. I recently went to see it yesterday in 3D, and was majorly impressed! So many times Matt gets screwed over, yet he keeps prevailing. I've looked around the web, and some people mention inconsistencies with the book, or plot holes. I would like for y'all of NGU to share what you loved or hated about the movie! Recent movies I've watched and enjoyed: The Martian, Inside Out, No Escape, Spy. Recent movies I've hated: Jurassic World.
I've not seen it yet but I have plans to go see it in a couple days, I've heard mixed things but it really seems like my kind of film
