All Gravity Is the Same: The film doesn't even try to simulate Martian gravity, which means Mark is moving around like he was on Earth.

Watney's parents being described as being middle-aged is the biggest implication of Watney's age.

Age Lift: While the book isn't explicit on Watney's age, it's implied he's younger than Matt Damon's mid-40s.

They must have paid a fortune for the few seconds of Happy Days they showed. This was removed because getting the additional licensing for television shows in addition to the music would have added millions to the cost of the movie.

Adapted Out: Commander Lewis didn't just have a huge collection of 70's Disco music she had an equally huge collection of 1970s television shows, and Mark fills his logs with all the Fridge Logic he notices.

Adaptational Name Change: Venkat Kapoor's first name is now Vincent.

In the film, Mark still was in communication with Earth and thus could receive permission to take the MAV, thus his using it was not piracy.

The whole space pirate joke worked in the book because he was out of communication with Earth due to the probe breaking down.

While it does show where Pathfinder is, the hab is a ways away to the north-east (otherwise the drive would've taken hours, not days).

The map of Mars that Vincent and Mindy use is wrong.

In the book, this made sense because of the helmet's tinted sun visor, but in the film Mark frequently has the sun visor pushed back and his face is clearly visible in the sent photo.

After Mark sends a goofy picture of himself to NASA when they ask for a publicity shot, Annie complains she can't use it and needed a picture with his face, to which Kapoor responds that can't be done because Mark can't take off his helmet outside.

Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole: The plot of the book is very consistent so when the movie starts to cut some stuff, it inevitably introduced some plot holes.One prominent instance is that the film has an extended montage of NASA testing and Mark implementing a modification to the Rover that involves replacing part of its roof with a balloon of Hab canvas, but completely omits the explanation of why this modification is necessary (and in fact, since the Rover is very different from the book description, the modification seems pointless anyway) Adaptation Explanation Extrication: Due to the limits of the medium, it is just not possible to explain the specifics of everything Mark or NASA cooks up in detail the way the book does.Adaptation Expansion: The original novel did not have a Where Are They Now epilogue, whereas the film shows what happens to all the major players after the rescue mission is implemented.The movie keeps the request but Mark asks Lewis to do it instead. Adaptational Context Change: In the novel Mark sends Martinez an email asking him to speak to Mark's parents if he dies on Mars.Its hard to imagine how that applies to Matt Damon. Mark himself is described as somewhat short and nerdy-looking in the books, and says he doesnt get a lot of female attention.

Johanssen is specifically described in the book as young and beautiful, so Kate Mara is not miscast. Some have pointed out that the actresses were more "emaciated" than real astronauts should be, that they would have done better to cast actresses who were built like the real thing.

Lewis' attractiveness in the book isn't explicitly stated, but it's pointed out that Beth Johanssen is the "looker" of the Ares III crew, implying that Lewis is of at best average attractiveness.

Actually Pretty Funny: Mark Watney's in-universe reaction to playing Donna Summer's "Hot Stuff" after retrieving the RTG.

His character Bucky Barnes did just that in Captain America: The First Avenger. A brief one where Sebastian Stan's character compares something to "jumping on a moving train".Bonus points in that he's the first to explain the significance of "Project Elrond" to Annie Montrose who is completely lost by the reference. Actor Allusion: Sean Bean takes part in a secret meeting named for the Council of Elrond from The Lord of the Rings, which had a film adaptation.20 Minutes into the Future: According to author Andy Weir, the plot is set in the not so distant year 2035.
