i read this book before it went out to bookstores. i was captivated from the first page. it seems most people who read it knew it would be a cool movie. ridley scott is doing it and the cast is amazing. the title of this article gets it right... very quietly/under radar this movie seems to be primed to be a really amazing sci-fi flick

If it's half as good as the book it will be awesome.

The word of mouth for this is starting to build. They showed a clip for theater owners and people were raving that it looked way better than Gravity. The cast is great -- Matt Damon, Jessica Chastain, Kate Mara, Sean Bean, Donald Glover, Jeff Daniels, Kristen Wiig, the guy from 12 Years a Slave whose name I can't pronounce or spell....

Finally, we round out the cast with everyone's favorite character actor, Sean Bean. Our fingers are crossed, in hopes that Bean's role as NASA flight director doesn't involve a rogue spacecraft landing on his head.

Prometheus was pretty great, so I disagree.

I wonder if they are going to go the Avatar route and have his video log transmissions narrate his activities. Its the only way ive been able to think of. The audience will absolutely need explanations of the intricate shite he is doing haha.

NASA goes to Mars. Crew thinks guy is dead on Mars. Crew leaves dead guy on Mars. Guy's not dead. Hilarity ensues.

Kind of reminds me of the movie Moon with Sam Rockwell.
