I loved the book, it was a very fun fever dream. Do the sequels have that same sort of frenetic energy?

Also, I'm not sure if I ever actually saw the movie or just saw clips of the movie in parodies and what not, does the movie at all follow the insane beats of the book?

All I recall is the futuristic plastic world, none of the crazy stuff in the book, which is leading me to think that maybe I haven't actually seen the movie.

The film and book share themes but are quite different.

In the film, people live in one city and believe the outside is poisonous. The plot is very different including how people die, why, what happens to runners, what sanctuary is and the ending. Despite the significant differences from the book, it's a good film and worth watching in it's own right.

Okay thanks. Yeah I watched like the first 10 seconds and when the title card explainef so many differences up front, I decided to take a break and let my mind kind of solidify the novel before I start on the movie, because I don't want to conflate them later.
