Prometheus for example was substantially longer originally, and had FEW plot holes. NOW look at the mess Fox did with it. The movie became almost meaningless.

Anyway, The Martian is indeed a good film. As I mentioned it was missing a few more of the "thinking" aspects, but excellent overall. I think Matt Damon was a superb choice for Whatney too - kind of who I had in mind reading the book before Ridley made it into a film.
