Title: I thought this was based on the book.....
Product review: Look at the white Johnny Rico....When I heard that ST was being made into a movie I barely contained my excitement. Just think, powered armor, great effects, incredible sound, fascinating story. After ten minutes I thought I was in the wrong theatre. I had a hard time not killing the teenagers behind me who seemed awed by the "really deep story." Apparently they have never read the book...or any book for that matter. I don't think this movie could have been worse. No redeeming qualities whatsoever. I guess Hollywood thinks all of us are mindless morons who like flashy lights, things that go boom, and actors (hahaha) we should feel sad for because their hair got out of place. I guess being "snooty" is expecting Hollywood to make an intelligent film based on an intelligent book. Independence Day was the movie to not think and just have fun. ST was the movie to show the world that most of the best SF was written in the 40's - 60's.
