The way this movie was done makes it SO boring! For a book where most of it takes place in one location, there really has to be something that makes the story interesting. In the movie, because of the poor acting, there is nothing that distracts from the fact that pretty much the whole thing takes place in the main character's house.
And let's be honest: Maddy should have been shown a bit before seeing Olly. How else do viewers get to see how miserable her life is/ how hard it is always being inside? I feel like that definitely should have been shown more. Instead, we get weird 'artsy' scenes with astronauts that are somehow supposed to make the scenes where they are texting more interesting.
So many scenes seemed stretched out and too long. It was sappy and extremely cheesy. I wanted to go see this, since I had read the book, but was honestly almost falling asleep trying to watch until the end.
