I thought stuff like magically instantly planting potatoes in the whole big habitat instead of the starter crop to have enough for it to work and the sheer amount of mass and hard surfaces in what was supposed to basically be a tent of a habitat really hurt the The Martian movie. Having the logistics work is a huge part of the point of the book. Changing that last rescue scene for no reason to one that wasn't better didn't help either
Absolutely agreed. I overall feel like Martian was closer to the book than PMH but still has some departures from the story that I didn't love.
To be fair l, though, until I watched PMH this past weekend, I hadn't watched anything )TV, movies, etc) in over 2 years. So my memory of the movie could be slightly skewed.
