With such a high rating, would you recommend watch the movie or reading the book first? I’ve never even hear of it until recently and never seen a trailer so completely blind about what it’s about.
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.

The book is just a nice read. If movies spoil books for you, definitely read the book first. But the movie is true to the story and both are great.
Book was great, movie was ok, but a little too much buddy comedy.
