    Generally yes, but sometimes…

    The Martian was a great book and a GREAT movie. Ridley Scott made visuals better than my imagination.

      The Aubrey-Maturin series of novels can be a bit impenetrable, because you kind of have to arrive to the series already able to speak 18th century British technobabble. The movie Master and Commander: The Far Side Of The World is kind of a Greatest Hits compilation of the book series, much more accessible to a general audience and just an excellent film.
