Finished the audio book only recently. Not sure about this movie. Book adaptions are always tricky, but it seems like they aren't even keeping to core principles of the book (like the ship looks completely different from what I took away from the book, which explained why it was designed a certain way).
In addition, why do they spoil one of the biggest things right in the first trailer? Watching trailers has been a nightmare for ages, they just can't help themselves spoiling 80% of any given movie.

What a stupid name. But if you guys say even the trailer is spoilerish BUT the book is pretty good, guess I'll ignore the trailer and go and check the book out.

The book is rather "sciency", but in an interesting way I thought. I did listen to the audio book and noticed right then that it was clearly written with a film adaption in mind, especially the last "action sequence" without wanting to spoil anything (which the trailers do plenty).

Seen it yesterday and it does capture the spirit of the book. Obviously some things are skipped and some are changed/simplified, but overall it is quite faithful adaptation. I absolutely recommend watching this movie as I found it great, even if I knew exactly what is going to happen next, and how will it end.
But book is still better, so if you like the movie I recommend reading the book.
Overly cute movie. Watched it with 2 others and the kid liked it, i guess we adults thought it was "ok".
Everything is rather surface level and a bit Disney'ish. I have no desire to watch it again (i have seen Contact and Arrival like 10 times).
Might be worth a watch if you want something decent sci-fi, portrayed as something smarter than it is, fun in a cute way sometimes. Felt less "wholesome" than it should have though, did not read the book but my bet is that's what the book is aiming for.
