The Door Into Summer (2021)
Great interception and update of the book.
As someone who read the book in the late 1960's as a teenager and who has reread it many times over the years, I feel that the update of " The Door Into Summer" was excellently done. I have read all of Heinlein's books many tines over the last 50 years as well as many other SF and fantasy books. Heinlein's stories were never complex although they did require the reader to view things from a very different perspective.
The stock ownership was the key to Soichiro and Rita's future and the revenge on his double-dealing partner and ex-girlfriend. His actions on retuning to 1995, enabled him to demolish the former company and establish a company that owned the robot patents and the patent for the plasma battery. This placed him and Rito in a future of success and happiness. The stock ownership was key all the way through the story, just as it was in the book.
As someone who has multiple degrees including an MBA, and dealt with stock, bonds and contracts for 50 years, there is NO gibberish here.
Heinlein would have been very pleased with the update of his story and it's successful film interpretation.
