I’m very much enjoying it, now. Second act is full of clarifying science the movie so often skips for time. The sleep scene is equally as emotional.

The movie brought some enjoyed distraction to me last month. The changes the screenplay made, from the book’s first five chapters, improved the story. This book is just a beach read because of how clumsy the plot, poorly executed the foreshadowing, weak characterization are in the exposition. Characters act in ways that are not believable. No amaze.
