'Pō Atarau/Now Is The Hour'

"Pō atarau e moea iho nei. E haere ana koe ki pāmamao. Haere rā ka hoki mai anō. Ki i te tau e tangi atu nei."

I think Grace's decision to go back and take Rocky to Erid was weakened a little bit because the movie left out the fact that he only had enough food to go back to Earth OR take save Rocky/Erid and that he would die of starvation if he chose the latter (didn't end up happening but that's what he thought would happen when he made his decision).

Deciding to sacrifice himself to save another planet (Erid) shows how much character growth Grace experienced throughout the story, because when he was faced with the same exact decision on Earth (sacrifice your life for the entire planet) he chose not to. By being faced with the same dilemma and choosing to sacrifice himself for a planet he had never even been to, Grace shows how much he's grown, and the movie does not convey that growth like the book does.

That's pretty much my only serious gripe with the movie, everything else that was left out or changed worked pretty well, there's no way you could or should try to fit TWO taumoeba outbreaks AND the coma resistance gene AND Grace doing a bunch of physics to calculate gravity in a movie and they kept the most vital stuff.
