Review title: A great Crichton novel poorly translated to a movie
Product review: The novel was mysterious, intriguing, and addictive. Others have detailed the storyline so I won't repeat, but it was an out-of-the-norm plot. I really looked forward to seeing if my mental picture of the sphere and all that happened would resemble what the movie showed. What a disappointment. It wasn't even close. Had the movie followed the story in the book I would have concluded that my image needed an update. But the movie was just blah. It lacked the ability to capture you in the story. If you haven't read the book, the movie probably is more appealing because you don't know what has been left out. Chalk it up to another failed Hollywood attempt to turn a great story into a lackluster movie.
