Okay, I'm stoked. This looks like it's going to be done right.

LOL, I'm more excited by the comic than the preview.

"I'm going to science the shit out of this" and "In your face, Neil Armstrong". This won't be like Interstellar, which BTW was an excellent film even though most of it was science fiction.
This flick will be heavy on real science. CAN'T WAIT!!!

Looks interesting.

The book is EXACTLY like the comic implies. He had a long series of technical challenges he has to overcome in order to survive, all using science that everyone should have learned in high school. Half the fun of reading the book is trying to predict how he's going to solve the next problem. If you haven't read the book, I strongly recommend it. I listened to the audio book and the reader was great.

I found the book good, but yeah, no idea how this got made into a movie. It didnt seem THAT good.

I think I'll get the book real quick and give it a read.
Hopefully that doesn't cause me to become disappointed with the movie.
