Having read the book, I'm just amazed anyone could have read it and go "we should make a movie out of this!" And I love all of Lem's writing.

I watched the movie and had to read the wiki page about the novel to follow it. And I'm a) no longer smoking weed, b) used to teach a history of film class in a lit department at a university, b) also enjoyed Lem when I was reading those works.

I enjoyed the film, but it's very difficult to read without at least a glance at a synopsis of the source material.
