Not All That

Rating: 1/10 (19 June 2005)

This movie was miserable. I am an avid reader and watcher of science fiction, and I know that this movie is hailed as masterpiece. It is not. After finishing the book I rented the movie and watched it with my family. By the middle of this movie was the only one still following the plot, a fact due only to the fact that I had read the story first. The characters were two-dimensional causing the story to fall flat on its face. It was the first time I have ever deemed a movie unworthy of the $.99 rental charge. Even coming from a mediocre book (this story has nothing on Heinlein or Amimov, the other 'grand masters' of science fiction at the time) this story could have been done so much better than it was.
