It's disappointing how much they cut out of his personal journey and replaced it with long sections of goofy gags. Those were ok, but not at the expense of character development. It did still feel indulgent in how long some scenes went.
Overall a good movie though. Just not as awesome an adaptation as The Martian was
Stratt had almost all of her character stripped away too. Without the Antarctica or Sahara bits she just felt like a project manager rather than the ruthless person she was in the novel.
Stratt: I believe in God.
Me: What?
Stratt: Evangelical karaoke
