The Martian is one example where they're about equal.

It helps that it was a short book, so very little had to be left out.

It also helps that Andy Weir is not good at writing prose, so his books work better as screenplays.

Reading it made me feel he wrote it specifically to be made into a movie.

Yup, that's my go to as well for "did right by the book".

I'm super stoked for the Project Hail Mary movie. But I was super disappointed in the trailer, because it shows the WHOLE freaking movie. If you haven't read the book, you're far better off skipping the trailer and going in blind.
