I love how the Hermes basically looks like it's cobbled together from bits of the ISS.

What slightly bothered me was the fact that the insides of the ship was like a wide open apple store style white space with weird chairs. I get that its the near future and all but engineers always try to jam pack as much poo poo into a small package. All the empty space looked especially weird inside the MAV.

I just got to the part of the book where he renames a scientific unit to "pirate-ninjas". That's so random!!!

If it makes you feel any better the movie tries to tone down that poo poo. Both of watney's trips are shortened to just a few scenes of him setting up the solar panels and sleeping so the entire pirate ninja shitfest is gone.

Nah they had the sounds of the jets firing in space, the sound of the tether rolling out and stuff like that. There's been two Hollywood space blockbusters that didn't depict sound in space so it was disappointing for this one to do it.

Yeah the sound design bummed me out aswell. Theres a scene in the first half of the movie though that I really loved where Watney sits out the storm and in the background you can hear the hab humming.
