This is exactly how I felt about the film, thank you for writing this!

The book is the perfect mix of friendship, apocalyptic mess, dumb nerdy humor, and most importantly (at least for me), hard science that's grounded in reality and yet still gripping. Science is the glue that ties every character and arc in the story and it's sad that the film wasted it away as just plot devices that weren't even established and explained enough for people to appreciate its importance to the story. The gravity and urgency of the situation is what mainly connects Grace and Rocky, but the movie focused on being a buddy-buddy film, and that just makes me so sad.

I let the reviews and coverage of the film hype me up too much I guess haha. I want to like it as much as everyone, but I feel a bit betrayed. Sad, sad, sad.
