It was fun, but they stripped 90% of the science out of it. The book is much, much better.

I loved the book, it's the first novel I've reread more than once in my adult life.
In glad they stripped the science out of it. It would have been a boring film if they'd left it in. They did the story justice. There's only so much you can do in 2.5 hours and I think they did brilliantly.
