    I think having encountered the alien structure would have been enough after it docked with his ship, with the voiceover of meeting an alien. The actual alien encounter would have been so much better only revealed in the film IMO, but as you said, what I think is best may not sell tickets

      Yeah. I get it.

      But when I did the book, I went in completely blind. There’s zero indication it’s going to involve extraterrestrial intelligence until suddenly it does. I loved the surprise and feel sad that so many moviegoers are gonna be robbed of that experience.
