Agree with The Martian being pretty good movie, but IMO this is one of those cases where there isn't really a good way to capture the full book on film. I mean most of the book is Damon's character talking to himself, and it's his thought process working through the details of each problem/solution combined with his sense of humor that make the book great. Movie did a decent job portraying his humor, but no way to get the rest without making it super long. Maybe could do it as a tv series.
