The book is (mostly) hard scifi, though one with an emphasis on character development. In contrast, the movie is an unlikely buddy comedy meets scifi. They’re very different and while the movie is a faithful adaptation, if the scifi stuff interests you I’d recommend prioritizing the book first.
Thanks for the great reply! I don’t think I’ve read too much hard sci-fi, but I enjoy Brandon Sanderson’s “Scientific Magic”. With all the hype I’ll have to check out the book.
