I've read the spoilers online and if that ruins the movie it sounds like it's not even worth watching in the first place.. That being said, I feel like there's a lot more to this movie than this socalled twist, which it sounds like it's revealed in the beginning of the book anyways?

This isn't a book you get through a spoiler summary, it's basically a character drama hidden as a sci-fi, and the relationship and growth with Rocky is what drives the book into being insanely good. When the movie comes out you'll be hearing tons of people quote Rocky, esspecially a specific line (only if it's a hit of course). The biggest enemy the movie is its runtime, I really don't know if they can fit what they need to in it, as that relationship is a slow burn that takes up the majority of the book.

Everything is a slow burn with great flashbacks. Audiobook or book, great experience in either case .

I have no knowledge of the book at all and I am totally in since I love The Martian. I do agree that the trailer shown too much but I'll still catch it when it's out.

Ironically yes, yes it does as they are forced to go the opposite direction of today's Net Zero goals pretty heavily… for reasons that should be obvious in the story.

But climate change isn't the threat. That's the point.

However, there could be a climate change message. If the Human race can come together and defeat this threat, then why can't we do this in real life with climate change

Maybe the book is secretly about climate change?

My opinion of the book may have been different if I hadn't listened to the Audiobook version, narrated by the awful Ray Porter. One note, one tone hack.

Looks neat, will turn my brain off while watching it.
