I watched the movie first, then read the book, then re-watched the movie. I thought the movie, upon first watch, was okay but disconnected. After re-watching it became worse, much worse. It is much more disconnected from the book. At first, the movie follows the book somewhat close, but then it just diverts completely in the 3rd act, which in which the screen writers did a really poor job of adapting; the book was written much more cleanly.
The movie also doesn't allow you to connect to any characters other than Cassi, which is sad, because the book does a much better job of describing the relationship Ben and his team have while training before they are sent off, and also about Cassi and Evan's relationship. It's cut off or shortened a lot in the movie.
