Fun if you have the right expectations

Rating: 6/10 (9 April 2018)

The parts of you that gets a rush from recognizing a wide range of pop culture references, dreaming about technological possibilities, and grand set pieces will love this movie.
The parts of you that have any expectations of three dimensional characters, character development, relationships that develop naturally, and moments of genuine, unforced suspense will hate this movie.
Yes, the movie deviates from the book ... a lot. But that's to be expected. A faithful recreation of the book is unlikely to be watchable, Speilberg or otherwise.
