The pacing of the movie didn't allow for a drawn-out recovery after he gets saved. In fact, the ending seemed incredibly rushed as it was. They treated the climax as the moment when Watney and Lewis reconnect above the surface of Mars. Then they cut to Watney back on Earth, like the 18-month trip back didn't happen, so they can give us the denouement on Earth. I can see why they made that decision, bc there'd be no real sense of him getting home until he was safely on Earth. But no, they didn't have an opportunity to explore his psychological recovery, a lot of which probably happened in that 18 months, but which would have totally killed the momentum/climax of the film.

I would have loved to see more of that journey home, personally.

That's what fanfic is for.

Well, I mean, sure, but even as an avid fanfic writer and reader, I still don't buy into the argument that fanfic is an equally satisfying solution to every missing segment of a story. When I said I would have liked to see it, I meant just that.

What I meant with the fanfic comment was: some things aren't appropriate for the primary medium because they don't fit, or they're outside the scope. This is a perfect example of that, imho.

The book didn't address his PTSD either, so that would have been added material, anyway.
