While maintaining the core material of the book, the issues of overpopulation are done well to alarm us of a real situation that is happening right now. But changing some key parts of the plot was the tipping point that turned the movie into a bland, Hollywood flick. The book had a bold idea at the end (by releasing the virus to Earth's population and turning one third of mankind infertile) and because of that, it created a strong female character that was the companion of Langdon, but also a major plot-and-mind-changer throughout Inferno. The movie made the complete opposite, destroying the wicked and brilliant character that was Sienna (putting her in a position of a senseless mass-murderer without ideas or principles). Overall, with the beautiful scenery and good VFXs, the movie discarded the intricate solution of overpopulation to a simple "cat and mouse" chase with the good and "heroic" ending.
