First of all books and movies are two completely different mediums. If you are making a movie based on a book and follow the book detail by detail you will have one shitty movie, just look at the Harry Potter movies, absolute rubbish. So it's best the movie didn't follow the book.
Second of all I didn't even know there was a book and only saw this movie as a mediocre action movie flick, not bad, but not great.
And thirdly probably off topic but I must mention it, the second movie is utter crap, worst acting ever, even worse than Keanu Reeves, Keanu looks like a pro compared to the acting shown in this movie, plus they took the feamle ship's commander from the first who died from being crushed by the door, and have her as one of the cast, this is probably the worst part about it.
And I hope we are talking about the movie with the war against the bugs, because I don't see anything about it that has a Utopian feel to it.
