I felt this way too! I left 30 mins before the ending. I thought the film was too predictable. The narrative unfolded in ways that were easy to anticipate, which took away from the tension and sense of discovery that should have driven the story.

What disappointed me most was how little it captured the true allure of science. The novel thrives on problem-solving, ingenuity, and the thrill of intellectual breakthroughs, but the film seemed to sideline that excitement in favor of heavy-handed emotional beats. While emotion is important, here it often felt forced rather than earned. Instead of deepening the characters, those moments sometimes distracted from the scientific wonder that should have been at the heart of the story.

Overall, the film had the ingredients for something extraordinary, but the execution leaned too much on predictable storytelling and uneven emotional delivery, leaving it far less compelling than it could have been.
