When it comes to the changes made adapting Project Hail Mary for the big screen, I understand the vast majority of them. There is simply too much material in the book for it all to be realized on screen, and that means that screenwriter Drew Goddard and directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller had to make some notable cuts. But while I get simplifying the docking procedure for the Hail Mary and the Blip A and eliminating the sequence where Antarctica is purposefully bombed to slow the cooling of the planet, there is one major alteration that I was not only surprised to see, but I think is a detriment to the telling of the story: the third act crisis with Grace's food supply.
