Do yourself a favour: if you’ve not read the book Project Hail Mary but you plan to watch the film, don’t watch the trailer. Gives away way too much about the story. So much it would actually ruin the book should you plan to read it. Just trust me, it’s good, if you like sci-fi you should try it.

Wow you weren't kidding

That's like, a lot of spoilers

At the very end when they reveal _that_ part of the story I was like “bro whyyyyyyy come onnnnnnn”

The art of taking all the mystery out of the movie. What did you think of the book?

Also, I wonder how much liberties they took with the storyline to do a movie adaption

I get the feeling it’ll be similar to the Martian: take a subset of the more visually interesting problems Watney (Grace) has to solve and cut the rest. Keep the broad story arc the same. Quite a big chunk of Weir’s books are science/competence porn that doesn’t translate well to screen.

Lol, true.

Which, to be clear, is not a criticism at all. In book form it works superbly well and I love it. But there’s not going to be a wide audience of people willing to watch Ryan Gosling do compound differential equations.
