LOL Greta! It does have that feel. Some of the challenges are different, some the same, but the Apollo 13 We Can Do This! attitude is definitely there. It's just that it's only one solitary, isolated man doing all the problem-solving in the beginning, instead of a team of experts.<br /><br />One thing I love about The Martian is that we're looking forward at what could be, instead of looking back at what we've lost, which always depresses me. I think the timing of this movie is perfect. While I enjoyed Interstellar, it had no where near the positive impact and carried a very bleak feel to it. Funny that Matt Damon was in both! He's becoming the new space movie go-to guy.<br /><br />I don't normally enjoy movies in the theaters either. There are just too many people who have no regard for others' enjoyment of the movie. Fortunately, we have a new theater in ABQ called Icon Cinema that not only has lovely recliners and free refills on popcorn and drinks, it also has very wide aisles so you aren't constantly jostled by other movie goers moving in and out of their seats. They have an absolute No Tolerance policy for any sort of disruption. If someone disturbs the audience (cell phone ringing, texting, crying baby, whatever) they are escorted out. Really makes for an enjoyable viewing. I haven't been back to another theater in over a year. L. A.

I hate going to the movies, you see. But I'm hangin' out to see this picture. Apollo 13 was a brilliant movie - but this comes across a bit like, "I'll see your (true) crisis and raise you 500%." After all, Apollo 13 was in the early 70's - that's a loooong time ago. I'm sure the reality of Apollo 13 would have influenced the author writing this story.Gretahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06011218229698210595noreply@blogger.com
