I enjoyed it immensely. Another thing they cut from the movie was the
Spoiler
:
The problems he encountered when traveling to the Ares 4 Ascent Vehicle. They left out him shorting out the electronics on the Pathfinder and being unable to communicate with NASA. NASA was unable to warn him of the approaching sandstorm that would keep him from recharging his batteries using the solar cells. They also left out the rollover he had with the Mars Rover.
With time constraints, the movie could not include everything.
