While the book was excellent, there were several key moments missing from the movie. I noticed it straight away, such as the communication going back to the "Pathfinder" method, or the Rover breaking down. Or even the little moments between the Ares 3 crew or back on Earth. I understand there was a certain runtime, but my girlfriend (who never left the book) left the cinema quite disappointed, especially after hearing me rave about the book forever. Well acted, fantastic cinematography...but something was just missing.
