people were saying PHM is good
and to get through it before the movie is out
cuz trailers seem to divert from book
so I did

It's going to be okay, the book had a bit too much reddit humor for my taste. Also with the way they toned down the science and engineering from The Martian, they'll definitely take interesting stuff out for the movie.

it's not that early, it's more than a third of the way through the book and then you don't see him for a good while after that
either way I had no idea there were aliens involved when I started reading it, and I was surprised the story went in that direction. so it's just a little saddening to see that people won't have the same experience.

It happens one quarter in and it takes one chapter to learn they'll cooperate and not be enemies.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if they cut the miscegination part, it's not that relevant to the plot.

Well, its got a fag in the elad and it gave away the big reveal in the trailer so I expect it to be faggy and shit

It seems like they might be ignoring the entire amnesia plot since they show him not wanting to go on the mission in the trailer whereas that was only revealed at the end of the book
Hopefully they keep Rocky not knowing about relativity in so they can go to Eridani instead of copping out and going back to earth

The amnesia is significant enough, I think they'll keep it. The trailer also reveals the explosionthat killed Dubois and the chick, along with a few other spoilers but unless you've read the book you don't know it's a spoiler.
