Hard no on the Martian. They skipped out on a lot of details of the journey because of time. I agree with their choice as far as movie pacing but that chunk of the book really showed off the dangerousness of Mars.
The really, really big reason the movie isn’t better though is because of the ending. That garbage Hollywood ending with him rocket boosting back to the ship was so stupid. It couldn’t ever happen and the whole idea of the action hero ending ran contrary to the theme of the story.
