Well, I’m glad I didn’t read the book then. I watched it with no expectations going in and had a great time.

I read a lot of SciFi when I was a teen. I learned not to bother seeing the movie if one was made. They always got so much wrong, and by “wrong” I mean it didn’t match my imagination.

I’m a big fan of the book. Couldn’t stand the movie.
I was really surprised because, while I have a track record of hating adaptations of books I’ve read, a lot of my friends that had read the book absolutely loved the movie. So I thought maybe it would be okay, even if I didn’t love it. But I couldn’t finish the movie at all, I didn’t even make it halfway.
Out of curiosity, have you watched and read 2001: A Space Odyssey? How did that comparison go, if you have?

Does it “look” different? I only notice when they leave out important things are distort

I hated the book, so I am excited to see the film

The movie actually gets it mostly right. It's not 100% true to the book, no movie can be but it's pretty damn close.
