In this episode of Notes from the Shelf, I’m going full spoiler-mode on Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir and its film adaptation. I break down exactly what changed, what worked, and what didn’t.

From character arcs and emotional beats to the science-heavy details that made the book so immersive, I’m comparing the page to the screen and asking the ultimate question: did the adaptation capture the heart of the story?

We’ll talk about the biggest differences, the moments I wish had stayed the same, the changes that actually improved the story (yes, a few!), and how the overall experience shifts depending on how you consume it.
