I can't take that movie seriously when Matt Damon is stranded on a planet looks into the camera and says "I gotta science the hell out of this"

The trailer looks badass. May distractedly watch while surfing the web once it gets to Netflix.

Surprisingly funny??? The comedy is the entire reason people enjoy the book

If the movie isn't funny it completely missed.

I just started the book yesterday actually. I usually don't like reading at all, but am looking forward to the book and the movie a lot for some reason.

Looks like the lone negative review is a troll critic. He gave Fantastic Four 8/10!

Mark Watney is a smartass badass. I can see how that one line might come across as stupid without any other knowledge about the book, but it fits right in with everything.

Personally I was hoping for Fassbendor for the lead, but I think Damon will do a good job.

I can't wait for this movie!
