After having read the book and loved it, I am looking forward to this movie.
The usual thoughts about having first read the book before seeing the movie are there, so I guess you could say I am cautiously optimistic.

The book is great (read it back to back myself) but if you haven’t listened to the audiobook, it’s uh-mazing. The narrator Ray Porter absolutely kills it. Sucks it’s Audible exclusive but worth it.
And, same, I’m cautiously optimistic about the movie as well. Gosling isn’t who I had in my head while reading it but I’m still in line day 1.
I can second this.

The way they did the alien language with the synthesizer was incredibly well done.
The man made complaining about a font choice Oscar-level stuff. Best table flip ever.
I did actually listen to the audiobook as well, but in swedish. Don’t think I will be listening to the english one as well, maybe down the line.
Who did you have in mind for the movie lead yourself?This is nuts but Simon Pegg was in my head for some reason. He did a decent American accent in Band of Brothers and has the geekiness and timidity of Ryland Grace imo.
Man, they loaded the trailer with some massive spoilers. Had I not already read the book, I’d be real salty.
I didn’t think about that, but you’re right.
You still need to watch the movie to get the whole picture, granted, but you’re better off not watching this trailer if you who read this haven’t read the book.

It’s weird that they showed Grace and Rocky’s first contact, kind of alluding to finding alien life, then they just show the whole damn alien later in the trailer.
I’ll watch anything with Gosling. Should be great. Sounds like something right up my alley anyway.
This movie looks incredible. I’m really looking forward to seeing it.
I liked the book. I’ll be happy to see the movie at home on my TV. Fuck theaters.
I haven’t gone to a movie theatre since the pandemic, and now prices are ridiculous. This movie will be the one I break that trend for, gonna see it with two buddies of mine who also read and liked the book.
This is exactly my situation as well. I’m actually driving over two hours away to see it in IMAX with them.
The only time I go to the movies is when AMC has it’s weekly “half off” days on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. $7 for a ticket is reasonable in my opinion.
