Because this movie is inherently cinematic.

Sometimes the sarcasm and never-ending jabs at other characters took me out of the story a little, but it also worked in its favor? If this is supposed to be a pulpy, fun space adventure, then some kind of jaded rouge sounds like a great fit! Sure it was all a little too corny, and every now and then, I was wondering how I or any actor could deliver that line.

We follow her narration as we travel throughout the bubbles of Artemis and the surrounding Sea of Tranquility. Our prickly protagonist, Jazz, is both a strength and weakness of the book. He shows you all the math he’s done and all the research it’s all right there in the book. The back of the book is even an economic explanation of how affordable space travel is in his future. How could you possibly take down a massive anorthite harvester in a vacuum while not being detected by the authorities with nothing but welding tools? Andy Weir has the perfect explanation. How do you get oxygen from aluminum? Andy has ya. How does Artemis produce air? Weir can explain. Much like his previous work, he wants you to know EXACTLY what’s happening. Leaving her on the run and on the hunt for the truth behind it all and maybe learning that Artemis isn’t what it seems.Īndy Weir sure does love his science. When this job goes wrong, the entirety of Artemis, from the authorities, criminals, and everyone in between, descends on Jazz. When she’s asked to do a job for a massive payout, she accepts. Jazz is an intelligent, sarcastic, troubled, and down on her luck woman who is just here to make a quick buck. So I now present my first book review of Andy Weir’s Artemis.Īrtemis is about Jasmine “Jazz” Bashara, a 20-something smuggler on the moon colony Artemis in the near future. But I also wanted to read the novel he wrote between The Martian and Project Hail Mary. Once I heard he had a new book, Project Hail Mary, which, despite its very recent release, it’s film adaptation is already slated to be directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller (my guys) and starring Ryan Gosling (my main man), I had to read it. It’s so fun, procedural, and, dare I say, a real page-turner. After giving it a read, I thoroughly liked it! It’s so obsessed with the scientific process that Astronaut Mark Watney needs to use it to survive. I was a massive fan of the movie The Martian by Ridley Scott, and upon hearing it was originally a book, I had to get my hands on it. Andy Weir is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors.
