          Yes, correct, they skipped a lot of the harder science for the movie to keep it a reasonable length. Movie was still very good though!

        Definitely read the book. The book is about the existential elation at discovering a solution to a dire problem, so knowing a poorly-communicated version of every solution will likely ruin the book for anyone serious about the hard Sci-Fi.
