    The book makes it make a lot more sense. He actually reasons through what he is doing, and why. The line “I’m going g to science the shit out of it” is practically the mantra, and demonstrated again and again.

    The film basically takes this and strips out all the ‘boring science’ stuff. What’s left, while still a good film, is a shadow of the source material.
