Yes, we need to remember this and that the story was written 100 years ago. I kept that in mind as I watched it was was just happy to watch the story unfold, simple as it might have seemed. I thought they did a good job getting Mars looking as we know it is today - dry, dusty with a pink sky. I had tried to find the books about 20 years ago but no luck so I was curious to see the movie and find out about the story that had inspired so much!
