This is the fundamental premise of this book and I had such fun reading it. I didn't realize when I was reading this that it was a companion novel, but I think you can read this as a standalone and be fine. As a character-driven reader, I would say that the characters are not loveable but you do want to see what happens and they do keep you invested in the story. I felt like the plot of this story was much more the focus and I actually really enjoyed the way the plot of the story moved. 
I am not someone who can do the whole movie in my head while reading but I do think that the description gave me enough information to be able to recall things that I have already seen to be able to help me see the setting and the action scenes. 
I would say if you are looking for a fun sci-fi novel to pick up this year for anyone from the ages of 13+ this would be a great addition to their library.
