That's exciting news! I've heard great things about the book, and I'm curious to see how they adapt it for the screen. It’d be interesting to see how they handle the science and the character dynamics. What do you think of the casting choices?

I really don’t like how streaming keeps splitting everything into smaller paid services. I was actually planning to watch this at home since I missed it in theaters, but now it feels like I need to chase another subscription just for one movie. MGM+ is not something most people even think about, so this move feels like it blocks the audience instead of helping them. I get that companies want their own platforms, but from a viewer side it just feels inconvenient. I’m not against paying for content, but I want it in a place that is easy to access. This kind of setup makes me less likely to bother at all and just wait for it to show up somewhere simpler later.

I see this more as a business decision than anything else. Studios are trying to push smaller platforms by attaching big titles to them, even if it does not really fit where the audience actually is. MGM+ is basically being used as a temporary home for attention, not as a place people naturally go. I think the long-term effect is that viewers become less interested in subscribing early and just wait things out. The film itself clearly has strong demand, so limiting its reach right away feels like leaving money and attention on the table. In the end, it will probably still end up on bigger platforms later, so this feels like a delay strategy more than a real exclusive win.
