Reply to comment by mayasky76 in Should I read The Martian by Andy Weir even if I’ve already watch the movie and remember most plot points? by CaregiverBig7228

I mean everyone is entitled to their own shit sandwich opinions, but we're talking about one of the best adaptations of the past decade. What didn't you like about it?

Actually I was commenting on the last guys use of "at least" there.

A million dollars is AT LEAST marginally better than a nail through the head.

It tells you nothing about the difference in quality. If something is at least marginally better it COULD be miles better

The implication being, they don't think it's much better like the person they replied to.
