9 out of 10! It was also real funny with the jokes the main protagonist makes while recording his logs.
Well, is it that good?
At first it sounded to me like "generic catastrophe drama movie where man gets f'ed over all movie long and dies in the end", but the more I've been hearing about it once it came out, the better and more interesting this seems to be.
Or that might've been because I know that there are way too many movies like that generic style I've described, so who knows, maybe I'm just judging the book by its cover (and a cover that doesn't seem to quite fit the story )
He didn't get screwed over. He just had a streak of bad lucks. Whatever he died or not... I won't say. What I can say is that the movie has one of best quotes ever in cinema history:

I will watch it on the 1st, but I'm still worried it will not live up to the book. The book was awesome! It's no Shakespeare or Arthur Conan Doyle, but it's a fun read.
I watched The Martian with my dad a few weeks back, after reading the book. I liked them both a lot, but after seeing that quote you mentioned, I had this constant little voice in the back of my head telling me, "this was written by a redditor, wasn't it..."

It was good enough for some idiots to think it was a real event!!!

I saw Spectre last night. I won't say much because I know it isn't out in a lot of places, but I found flawed at best, not the five star film I was expecting from all the reviews.
There this movie on Netflix called "Circle", its one of those arties films I also felt either the producer or the director saw the film "Cube" at one point in their lives. Regardless, It...sends a message, but I don't know what. "Voting is everything?", "Democracy can only go so far?"
I say this, its an interesting film to watch when there is a storm over the horizon, and the internet is wonky.
