Listening to the book now. Sci-fi is not my thing. I hope I like the movie better than I’m liking the book.

I'm not a sci fi guy either, but I enjoyed the book and thought the narrator was very good. I think you'll find the movie entertaining regardless. Worst case, you'll probably wish it wasn't as long.Originally posted by Green Monstah View PostComment

It’s not that I don’t like it. It’s fine. I’ve listened to 11 of 16 hours. If I truly didn’t like it, I would have already bailed. But I was really hoping that it would blow me away. It has not.Originally posted by falafel View Post

On Goodreads there about 1.5 million reviews, with a 4.5 average rating. It sound like GM is about a 3 star so far, which about 100k people rated it. So he has company, but is definitely in a minority.Originally posted by Green Monstah View Post
It doesn’t sound like he is being a hater just to be contrary or cool, which is always annoying.Comment

Mrs Happy and I went a saw "Hamnet". I enjoyed it, really evoked the 16th century. It's the story of Shakespeare's marriage and how the death of his son inspired maybe he greatest work.
A little historically suspect, but a good story never-the-less.

I saw project Hail Mary. It was a decent film but I found it a bit too campy for my taste. I liked the Martian better because it seems to have more science explained in the movie whereas PHM seemed to be pulling more on emotions. But I didn’t fall asleep, which is saying something."Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes.

When it hits Amazon it will be the almost 4 hour directors cut. That will have the science stuff they cut out of the theater version.Originally posted by Moliere View PostComment

Had you read the book beforehand? That helped me fill in the science blanks that the film's length necessitated, like how they were able to communicate so quickly, and how astrophage works.Originally posted by Moliere View PostComment
