Score: 3/5 👍 (Only because I have read the book, otherwise it would be a 4/5 👌)
In the near future, astronaut Ryland Grace wakes from a coma afflicted with amnesia. He gradually remembers that he was sent to the Tau Ceti solar system, 12 light-years from Earth, to find a means of reversing a solar dimming event that could cause the extinction of humanity.
Since I have already read the book, I couldn't stop myself from comparing the movie with the book. The movie falls short on a lot of details that were explained in the books, and it is understandable that the director could not cover the whole thing in 2.5 hours. I am glad though that they didn't modify any incident/detail to be different from the book, all the differences were of omission and not of modification (even if there were modifications I could not recognize them as I read the book quite a few years ago now).
The actors also deserve credit here. Ryan Gosling has done a good job of enacting the personality of Dr Ryland Grace. And Sandra Hüller matches the flat no-nonsense attitude of Eva Stratt. The star of the show though was definitely my beloved Rocky. The voice-acting, the motion-capture, the character was given proper justice when bringing it on-screen.
If you haven't read the book, then definitely go and see the movie. It is a well-made enjoyable sci-fi movie. But if you have read the book then watch it to meet some of those characters that you enjoyed reading about. It is worth watching atleast once.
