Summary

Readers have a long habit of claiming the book is better than its adaptation, but few genres have suffered from as many terrible on-screen translations as science fiction. In part, that's due to the futuristic nature of many sci-fi stories, which has historically been tricky to capture realistically on film. But even more modern translations, including Taika Waititi's recent take on Klara and the Sun , have failed spectacularly to capture what makes the original stories great.
