Title: "Look on the bright side, we're already dead!"
Product review: Haven't read the book(s) by Philip Jose Farmer so I have no idea how faithful this was with the author's intent. I will say, after watching this second version, I have absolutely no interest in seeking out and reading any of his books. This is the danger authors risk whenever they allow someone to adapt their work for the screen.I really didn't care for this production; it was (at worst) painfully dull and too long by half. I found it to be limited in scope and a little too repetitious. All the characters were either sad, mad, or worn weary (which I suppose comes from dying and dying and dying). The story is dark and lifeless and takes forever to get anywhere and then it's over in a blink and you're left wondering, as one character puts it, "what is the point of it all?" This was the slowest race against time, ever.
