After Rich Purnell (Donald Glover) explains the new trajectory, Sanders (Jeff Daniels) asks Vincent if the math checks out and the thread is just kind of left hanging. I just don't remember him rejecting the plan.

Saw this today in4Dand it was a pretty nifty experience. Having the seats move around as the rover bumped across the landscape or having air blow into your face whenever an airlock pressurized etc. made for a very entertaining experience. Certainly not the sort of thing I would do for every movie, but it worked for this show.

I liked it a lot. It was about as faithful to the book as you could get with a movie, just with a bunch of stuff left out, obviously for time, which I understand. As has been said by a few others, there's only one issue I had with it.
Otherwise I thought it was very well done.
The rescue scene at the end felt way too hollywood for a movie/book that was otherwise very true to realism. It didn't ruin the movie, but from a guy who loved the book and is a science nerd it was very jarring.

I loved this film. It was very gripping throughout the movie. It has the right amount of levity at times to take off some of the stress so it could build it back up. It was also a beautiful movie. Gorgeous shots of the panoramas and vista's. I have come to expect that from Scott and he did not disappoint. I will be buying this on Blu-Ray. Also my theater was pretty full.

Saw it yesterday, I read and enjoyed the book and enjoyed the film, wife enjoyed it also. Think they had a nice balance with taking stuff out and the pacing was great. The normaly 50% empty 3pm matinee was as near as damnit full, so anecdotally its doing fine in the uk too.

Loved the movie. I thought the 3D added nothing and wish I'd saved the $ and watched in 2D. Great mix of hollywood and the book. I did like the last scene in the book. Laughed my ass off in fact. I wish it was in the movie but maybe it will make the Blu-Ray. I'll be buying this when it comes out for sure.

Movie was good. Would recommend to watch in the cinema for the visual spectacle. Thought the 3D added nothing though as usual.
Anyone else during the manual spaceship docking bit at the end was thinking, 'Hey, I saw this scene in another space film recently with Matt Damon and Jessica Chastian and they are going to seriously fuck this up and end in disaster!'
Reading though the book now. Good stuff.

Loved the movie but damn they changed a ton. Drill a bunch of holes in the roof of the rover but show no reason why. Zero explanation of why the Airlock went bad. No sandpit near the end. And the superhero bit at the end was cheesy. I did love the very end with the classroom part that was not in the book and the rest of the montage.

The drilling holes in the roof seemed logical. As a builder, I assumed that he didn't have a saw up there, so he used a drill to weaken a line by adding holes. Almost like the perforated paper tear line when you get a check from your company. As my assumption correct as far as scientific description goes?

In the book he did something with the space. In the movie they didn't show nor tell why he had to do it. And the plastic they used to show as canvas looked more like painters plastic, the entire rover portion of the movie was handwaved completely. Both with the testing trips and the big trip at the end. Great movie, but read the book if you like to know why some things happened.
It was well worth the $8.00 bucks though.

Finally got a chance to see it, easily one of the best sci-fi movies ever. Regarding the ending, I really wasn't bothered very much by it. I think the camera angles and cinematography made it look like this ridiculous action sequence that they should have toned down a bit in order to portray it as more-like-something-an-astronaut-would-actually-try.
