Title: A must-have movie for sci-fi fans
Product review: The few connections to Heinlein's book were well done (the political idea that citizenship should be earned, not doled out based on where you happen to be born; the lack of body image taboos...). I've read all but a couple of Heinlein's oldest works, and where the movie exerted some effort it did a fair job of representing his views.But the movie doesn't really connect to the book very much, does it? What this movie is, is a Die Hard-esque romp through space with lots and lots of action, some overacting worthy of Shatner and Takei, and heroism like you'd see in a comic book. Fun, lot's of fun.My only quibble is with the choice of what scenes to delete. The DVD's deleted scenes included two Carmen scenes (one with Rico, another with the pretty-boy pilot) that added some depth to her character, and would have changed the audience's reaction when she got in trouble later.
