Has anyone got a time machine to help me go back and save myself from having to watch this movie.

Rating: 1/10 (28 March 2018)

While this movie is full of cinematic wonder, that is really where the magic stops. Spielberg sadly took a great book, ripped off the cover, and stuck it on a completely different story.
There is no drama, no tension and largely not a lot a story. He did the same thing to Jurassic Park.
I was truly disappointed. It started out so well, and then it spun out of control. The only reason I didn't walk out after the first half-an-hour was because I'd taken a friend and it would have been rude to storm out and leave them sat alone. They only came because I'd raved about how great the book was, and how great the movie was going to be.
My friend was largely confused, and all I could do was apologise for wasting two hours and twenty minutes of their time.
This travesty was made worse because Empire magazine had said that it was a close fit to the book. Shame on Mr Cline, who wrote the book, and also wrote this script. I can't believe an author would do such a spectacular hatchet job on his own material (maybe the blood rushing down the hotel corridor came from all the fans who committed suicide when the saw the prescreening).
I wanted this movie to be so much more than it was. And I have no doubt that anyone who is ignorant of the book will find it amusing. But they really shouldn't think too hard otherwise they will spot all the inconsistencies. Like how artimus has the landline numbers for all the five players when they are all keeping their identities secret.
Sadly I don't own a working delorian with functioning time-travel to enable me to go back to yesterday and tell me to not buy the tickets.
This joins the only other movie that I will never watch again. The remake of the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy (which is amongst my all time favourite stories).
