I made an IMDB account just to warn people not to watch this

Rating: 1/10 (27 April 2020)

If you have read the book, then definitely do not consider watching this movie.
The book was compelling, quirky and engaging (I would recommend it highly), but the movie bears absolutely no relation to the it - I wasn't sure if I was even watching the right movie. The changes made by the movie were definitely based on what would look good in CGI, rather than on what would drive a compelling or believable plot. For example, the movie (for no good reason that I can think of) added King Kong into the plot.
The movie is not a homage to the book, but rather a bland, standard, forgettable unoriginal, sausage-machine Hollywood insult to the original story.
I'd only recommend watching it if you hated the book, or if you're the kind of person who would rather watch Sharknado than Jaws.
