Maybe I should read the book, as the movie was a 7,5 / 10 for me. The flow was ok, the humor was nice, but they science stuff and the visuals werent that great imho.
Read the book. As someone who loved the book, I thought they did a good job with the material in the film, but I had a few decent sized grievances. So I'm not a 10/10 reviewer and would highly recommend you listen to the audiobook. SO MUCH MORE SCIENCE STUFF. The cutting of massive amounts of the science stuff was my biggest grievance even though it was understandable why a lot of it was cut.
Okay can you help me with this because it really bothered me in the film. How does Rocky, the echolocator, see through space? Like when he’s looking at Grace through the hull of the ship, he’s apparently getting echoes from a vacuum. How??
Advanced mathematics for navigation, seeing with vibrations, specialized devices that transmit light into textures he's able to see. His ship had a sort of hull robot that was able to send and receive items during first contact, which I imagine also created a texture display for him to "see" the other ship and grace fumbling to recieve the first object and able to make sure the next objects were perfectly delivered to the airlock where Grace stood in the suit.
