Book vs film difference
"The biggest removal comes in the third act when in the book, Watney is driving to the Ares IV landing site, and because he accidentally shorted out his communications, he doesn’t know that a storm is coming to make his journey even more difficult. Goddard removes all of this. Watney never shorts out his communications array, and there’s never a dust storm to avoid on the way to Schiaparelli. It’s the smoothest sailing he encounters until he has to launch himself off the planet."

As for The Martian, he said there will be another version on the Blu-ray that’s around 15 or 20 minutes longer, saying, “It’s not fat. It’s real scenes. I hate it when people shove in a couple of long shots — it’s boring. This is real scenes.”

The Martian > Interstellar
Seen it twice now and both times was on the edge of my seat like
.
The story taught me shyt I ain't know about space.
And when they pulled out the Pathfinder,
I remembered that shyt from when I was a kid.
If I seen this when I was a kid I'd want to be an astronaut tbh.
Matt Damon and Jessica Chastain need to be in every space movie.
Interstellar still one of my favorite space movies, but The Martian's story and execution was way better.

Ridley Scott strikes again. A movie that already has a lull in it midway becomes even longer.
I think it would benefit from more on mars. Like it skipped a few years/sols. More damon , less earthRidley Scott strikes again. A movie that already has a lull in it midway becomes even longer.

That's what you want, not what you might get though. And Scott has a history of making director cuts that are insufferably long.

I'd give it bout a 6.5/10. 
you could call Kingdom of Heaven directors cut insufferably long yet it makes it an infinitely better film then the theatrical.
Gravity is superior to this film in almost every way except there was less "science the shyt outta this shyt" type shyt

I was thinking of mentioning Kingdom Of Heaven as the one movie that did turn out better, but yeah, still long as fukk.
It's kinda funny how Gravity is the "flashy" and "eventful" blockbuster movie but has far more real suspense than the more realistic The Martian.
Cuaron the muthafukkin gawd
There is something horrifying about dying in space, being flung into infinite darkness while you survive as long as the oxygen in your suit provides. Visually gravity shyts all over the Martian. The threat of death just seemed so close constantly in gravity. In the Martian there was a couple sporadic threats but Mark was so fukking smart and had an answer for everything, he also maintained a sense of humor while stranded on another planet. Also Sandra bullocks character lost her daughter and had to find the will to continuing to try to survive, I thought that worked really well to add an emotional element to the film. Cuaron and lubezki are at the peak of their careers though...it was just a better made film
