One of those movies that I thought was impossible to make after reading the book and was happy to be proven wrong.

[–] IronBird@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Which do you prefer among the two?

90% of the time, I'll take the book over the movie. That's true in this case and even more so with Hail Mary.

I associate the movie so much with the visuals and score, I can't imagine how it would have been originally written. A good reason to check out the book.
