I plan on reading the book eventually. I just started on Malazan. Hopefully I finish that series this time around.

Kinda silly alien encounter movie. Far too little science on how these microbes could survive space, how rock creatures could move limbs. Also pretty dumb to have a space faring species not know about radiation and also have them be blind with echolocation a far less viable primary form of sense than photosensitivity. How would those rocks even know there is space and stars? They cant hear them. Dumb feelgood movie.

Watch the video in the post above. That's the author answering literally every question you posed other than how the microbes survived space. Something that's already a pretty well established sci-fi trope.

This a good movie for the kids. Like an old family friendly Spielberg or Disney movie. Not really what I was expecting from trailers but pretty consistent from start to finish an 8/10 movie. Not sure why anyone would care about the science explanation for a movie like this as it’s wildly unrealistic and silly, this isn’t the expanse we are talking about here.

Yeah. It's not even relevant to anything considering the universe caught the flu and is dying out.

The science in the film isn’t that outlandish. The microbes that can perfectly absorb solar output and propelled themselves at relativistic speeds is probably the most improbable thing, but then again so were the ship drives in The Expanse
Not pure hard sci-fi, more like “reasonable sci-fi with a couple fantastical elements to move the plot”

Watched it again finally. One thing I wished they touched on more was Stratt being essentially the Dictator of Earth like the books. Like she literally nuked the Antarctic to stave off the inevitable. I think its one of those things that got left in the cutting room. I felt there was something missing on how she was able to decide to do that to Grace.
Anyways still thoroughly enjoyed it. Nothing wrong with some upbeat "positive" Sci-Fi.

Absolutely awesome feel-good movie that is satisfying for the whole family to watch. Perfect pacing with sympathetic characters and an entertaining soundtrack.
Ignore all critique from autistic nerd faggots, as you would for everything else, and enjoy a really nice watch.
