    There are internal reports that this is really good. To the point that Amazon is regretting not releasing it this year so they could have had an Oscar contender.

      When The Martian was about to come out I sarcastically grumbled to friends that Matt Damon was too pretty to be Mark Watney. Then watched it and had to reluctantly admit to myself and friends that Matt Damon really killed the part. I have similar feels about Gosling and am optimistic he's probably going to nail the roll as well.

    Really looking forward to this! I'm so glad Rocky doesn't have a cartoon Disney face, was really worried about that possibility from the last teaser they released.

    Oh man, I didn't know this was going to be a movie. And it looks GOOD! I read the book last year and was blown away. Artemis didn't really catch my attention so I didn't expect much going into it. I'll probably have to give Artemis another shot at some point. The Martian was a phenomenal film adaptation, so I feel like the bar is set pretty high for this.

    Can't really confirm (for obvious reasons), but I haven't watched the trailer yet on advice from a friend who said it spoils some major plot points for anyone who hasn't read the book yet, and I still plan on reading the book before seeing the movie.

    Just a word of caution to anyone else in the same boat.

      Appreciate the warning! I was about to watch it, but I'd rather go in blind than have anything spoiled!

        I think the marketing, and likely even the movie poster is going to make it impossible to avoid at least one spoiler. But I don't think it matters too much since it's almost expected given what happens and there's too many other things to discover for it to be a big deal. I'd rather they give that away than have people skip the film entirely for not knowing anything about it.

      I don't know how up front the film itself will be with some of the book details, but this one and the previous teaser give a lot away.

    I've been trying to avoid optimism about this movie and assume the worst... but this is looking fantastic. Early on, I had decided to avoid trailers because I didn't want to be disappointed about seeing Rocky. Having reverted on that decision... I'm not disappointed with what I've seen. I'm very excited.

    Weir writes books that are really fun and quick to read and also happen to make awesome movie adaptations. Not often that someone like that comes along.

    Odd choice to go with "Champagne Supernova" when The Electric State just used it last year. Hopefully this is less disappointing.
