The Martian (2015)
Love the movie and went and read the book
I went with a friend of mine to see "The Martian" and I loved it. Then I search for the author Andy Weir and I saw a couple of interview with the guy and I became more interested in reading the book. The only time I read the book because of the movie was for "Never let me go" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1334260/?ref_=nm_knf_t3 . So then I decided to read the book as well. In just a week, for a couple of hour a day, I manage to finish it. I kindly recommend it....it's better than the movie and just like in any adaption they had to cut few good parts.
Here a few quotes from the book I love and they haven't put it in the movie
Me: "This is obviously a clog. How about I take the it apart and check the internal tubing?" NASA: (After 5 hours of deliberation) "No. You'l f**k it up and die." So I took it apart.
NASA, however, is absolutely sh**g itself. They see the Water Reclaimer as a critical survival element. There's no backup, and they think I'l die instantly without it. To them, equipment failure is terrifying. To me, it's "Tuesday."
