The Movie does a fairly good job of covering the basics of the book in a very short timeframe. Gosling makes the trip charming and Rocky is a fun opposite in this success for non-franchise film making

Looks great, sounds great. Fun characters and creatures. Thought Alcock did a good job with what she was given. The entire plot where the protagonists expose themselves to large peril over saving a poisoned dog who could have been fixed up by taking him to a yellow sun (this is spelled out specifically in the movie) is lacking in importance or consistency.
