This is a review for the book not the movie. so, ya.
I didn’t go into this expecting much but a fun vacation read. Andy Weir books usually have some basis in real science, so they are not just pulp.
I’m not going to get into spoiler territory, but it’s another one of those single person stuck in space books, but with a single alien who is also stuck in space, so, two different entities stuck in space trying to solve the same problem.
Its ok, ups and downs, but you know they are coming once you settle into the rhythm of the book. Characters you followed through out the book just stop getting mentioned. Felt anti-climactic since they followed a realistic scientific process to find a solution to the problem.
I finished it just so I can move on, just in case it did something cool in the end. It didn’t.
