Just saw the new movie. " The Martian ".
Fully enjoyed it as true SciFi & not this new SciFantasy stuff.
But I expected it to be a take-off on an old SciFi book I had read many years ago,say 50.
Can't find such a book !
There is a movie titled " The Martian " by Andy Weir, Made in 1964 with named stars,tho a B class.
That film had inter-stellar travelers landing on Mars & it was not based on any book I could find!
So their ain't no such book as I thought I remembered.
Yet a good movie tho a stretch about endless fertilizer & a strap that's cut but then isn't.
Even if SciFi is not for you it's well acted & worth a few bucks on a rainy day.
OH,I bought my ticket & seat on the internet & strolled right past a long ticket line in an 8 theater AMC .
