The Martian official trailer is out!!!

Actually there are two trailers, the "official" one and a "viral teaser" one. Personally, I like the viral teaser one better because it shows a lot more Sebby. *g* But the film looks really good. It feels very, for lack of a better term, NASA-y, as it should if it does the book any justice at all.

And the 'viral' one:

It's almost too much to hope that this one will rank up there with Apollo 13, which is my all-time favorite 'scifi with the emphasis on the sci' space movie, but it looks very promising. :)

I'm very much looking forward to that movie. Matt Damon's in it!!!

He should do a really good job as Mark Watney. :D Have you read the book?

There's a book? Is it worth reading? I might just pick it up one of these days.

Definitely worth reading, especially if you enjoy sort of real-life feel, science-y scifi. It's by Andy Weir. When I heard that Seb Stan had a role, I went out and bought it (it also happened to be on sale for Kindle that particular day, so double win). I think it took me about 4 days to read it (in the past when I read more voraciously, it would have taken maybe 2)... really gripping, suspenseful and really, really funny at times. There's even LOTR references. :D
