No adaptation is perfect. Any medium change for a story is going to require alterations – and that means making up for something that can't be done or taking advantage of things that can. Every effort can be made to ensure maximum faithfulness, but "maximum" is not perfection, and fans of Andy Weir's novel Project Hail Mary will find that to be true in directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller's new blockbuster starring Ryan Gosling.
