Title: misses the whole point of book
Product review: I don't write reviews normally, but this is an awful movie. My daughter ( age 12) had just finished reading the book. I had also read the book to my son ( age 9). Both had liked the story and wanted to see the movie. We did and walked out in horror. Nothing in this movie is right! The troops in the book had full combat suits. The soldiers in this movie had about as much armor as a policeman. The tactics in the book were fast in/out types. In the movie they acted more like they were playing capture the flag. Finally the whole lesson of citizenship and honor were plowed under. I love the book and have an insane hope that someone will make a movie of it that focuses on the story, not the effects. In movies like Star Wars and Aliens the effects were good, but the story is what made them special.I cared about Luke or Ridley. This movie just trashes the story.
