The movie that is constantly being re-watched, and I guess has become my happy place in the last 10 years, is The Martian

If you like that, you should read the book or listen to the audiobook.

The audiobook really changed my perspective on the pandemic, wonderful book. The movie was fine but for whatever reason I didn't have the same emotional response as the audiobook.

"Project Hail Mary" is a similar vibe by the same author, not quite as good but a fun read!

I agree that the movie doesn't live up to the book, whether you read it or listen to it.

Thanks for the recommendation. I will look into that one.
