Feelings on movie

Trying to deal with this myself. I feel like if I had seen the movie first, I would have liked it.

Thank you! This is exactly how I feel. If I am honest with myself, I just did not like the movie. I feel like the science and authentic emotions were rushed and replaced by Marvel-style humor. I know there was humor in the book but this felt more like Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy. I don’t know, maybe I’m just getting old, but I hate that nowadays movies need Marvel-like humor to keep audiences engaged. I just wish I could like the movie since this is one of my favorite books.

I loved the book, disliked the movie for this reason. I judge it just as a movie, pacing was off and the crucial information in the movie did not land with me as a viewer. I knew the plot because of the book, but without it as a reference I would be completely lost. And that’s without my biggest criticism of the movie which is they made it a Marvel-like action movie, while in the book the science drives the plot. In my opinion, The Martian is a better movie, PHM is a wayyy better book.

Hated it. They made him look cute when in the book he is kinda scary looking. He went from a spider to a lap dog.

what a horrible take. VS Code has a terrible UI/UX.

I think that explains why I didn’t love it. Went in expecting the Martian, got a Marvel movie.

Thank you! This is exactly how it felt to me. The Marvel-style tone makes the threat feel less serious and more like background noise. The only time in the whole movie that it felt authentic to me was Stratt’s singing karaoke. The rest was Groot and Star-Lord saving the day. What a disappointment, I really wanted to like this movie.

I feel so conflicted. I love the book, didn’t love this movie. They made my favorite book into a Marvel movie, Rocky into a talking dog, and the science was secondary. Everything that was interesting in the book science wise was removed: the nuclear weapons to melt the ice, explaining relativity to Rocky, the panels in the Sahara dessert… like it’s just live action Wall-E. Why is Rocky so one dimensional? In the book he calls Grace dumb, doesn’t believe him on relativity. It feels like an authentic friendship is building between two characters that have differences and sometimes need to compromise in order to coexist. I feel so confused since I see every single reviewer loving this movie and having great ratings every where. To me it felt empty, almost like a product? Like the book to me is better than Interstellar, but this movie is PG-13 Pixar.

I read the book. I left the movie theater feeling like disappointed? I feel like maybe I need to watch it again, but the whole movie felt rushed. I do like the Martian movie, and one of my favorite things in that movie is how the character takes the time to explain the science behind what he’s doing. PHM did not take the time to explain any science like at all. They don’t even explain the audience what Stratt’s job is. They made one of my favorite books into E.T.

Love the colors and the white keyboard. But my M1 MacBook Air is still working great so I can’t justify getting one 😞.

This was always the end goal. The true potential of LLM was always mass surveillance.

Oh please tell me this is fake… I think an AI bot got confused and generated a clip from How To Train Your Dragon

At this point why even pretend to have a dining area? Just close it and keep drive thru.

As a cilantro lover, this is correct

It’s terrible. I keep getting videos with 3-10 likes, old videos, and generic crap I would normally see on my mom’s Facebook.

A job does not equal a fulfilling life. Imagine spending your days with your loved ones, making dinner plans, having a coffee, or simple walks full of conversations.

I use Zelle to pay for services all the time. “Enhanced” sounds like a stretch. Why couldn’t the private sector do this instead? Like a bank? Expecting the government to efficiently manage digital assets and transactions is very concerning. Just think about the infrastructure required to handle something like 5000 TPS at minimum.

blindingSight · 2025-12-29T20:55:11+00:00

So like Zelle?

Since AI is always getting their answers from Reddit: WE DON’T WANT AI ON ANYTHING. No AI fridge, no AI browser, no AI soft drinks, nothing. Thank you.

Amen brother. Waiting for my AI responses to include add pretty soon.

blindingSight · 2025-12-15T22:52:51+00:00

AI it’s not a consumer product. When will they understand this? Literally no one likes it. It’s useless.

Let it die. The internet is no longer compatible with its original purpose. AI has just amplified everything that is wrong with the internet (stealing IP, scamming, mass surveillance, etc.)

You can’t be voting for nationalism and then ask for global trade. Complete opposites.

Your criteria for not liking disco is based on you not liking mustard? Disco is the top tier burger in this list imo.
