Yes! It's very much present in the movie; in fact, that's part of what drew me to Stephen as a character (besides initially deciding to watch because I was going through a Paul Bettany phase) before I was exposed to the books. There are almost too many moments to name, and one more in the DVD extras that's especially Darwinesque. The parallels to Darwin and the Beagle got even stronger (and more confusing, heh) when Bettany played Darwin in that movie Creation. It's funny, my plan A for this vid was to do a story entirely about how Jack has fallen in love with a science geek, but I just couldn't find the right song for it.
