I keep meaning to read the book.
I can't help wondering how badly Hollywood fucked it up. |

Finished reading the book this morning.
Note: I hear there are PDF copies of it floating around online (since it was originally released on the author's website chapter by chapter before "real" publishing). |

The book was a good time.
Wonder how technical they are going to get in the movie, there is no way they are going spend 5 minutes of screen time talking about the chemistry of turning rocket fuel into water. |

Book was very good. While I'm looking forward to the movie I'm a bit concerned they'll wreck the movie and deviate from the book like happened with Word War Z. The book focused almost entirely on Watley. With a few people from earth side and his crew mates as supporting characters. From the trailer, and the stars cast beyond Damon I get the feeling they will change the underlying story line to give the other actors/actresses more screen time than the book storyline would have allowed.
I really hope they don't throw derp in there like man made global warming or the other typical Hollywood leftist crap that has been seen in big budget movies. |

Got the point across without being over the top technical or slowing down the narrative. We will see what happens in the movie. I have HIGH hopes. :-) |

It looks good, but with Matt Damon in it, I am certain that the script is chocked full of left wing bullshit about Global Warming, Illegal Immigration, Gun Control, LGBTBD or some other leftist bullshit.

Loved the book. Would have preferred Robert Downey Jr or Bradley Cooper in the lead. The protagonist has a bit of a smartass edge to him.

Previously, Matt Damon played a space explorer stranded to die on a frozen planet, awaiting possible rescue.

So I watched it with the sound off.
As far as I can tell he goes up there. Gets stranded. Is successful....and they send a team to kill him? lol. He then kills all of them and goes home? That's what it looks like with the sounds off LOL |

I finished the book literally just last night. Based on my fresh knowledge of the book, if the movie itself is anything like the trailer, we're in for something fucking awesome.

I haven't read, or even heard of, the book. So, it may be an excellent read; I don't know. All I have right now is the trailer posted by the OP and based on that, I have zero interest in seeing this movie. For you guys thinking this movie will be about American exceptionalism, listen to the voice over at the start of that trailer again. It seems to be going out of its way to make an equivalence between every culture on Earth.
Second, look at that cast. One hard-core libbie after another, all down the line. And Matt Damon doesn't have the best track record when it comes to sci-fi movies lately. There's no way this movie is not going to be some vehicle for the Left's pet narratives. The huge amount of derp in this trailer is just the icing on the "do not watch" cake. I might try to watch it when it hits home video, but certainly not before. |
