content: As a reader who appreciates Bradbury stories, I was severely disappaointed in this "adaptation". Awful acting, awful sets, awful directing, and awful awful, awful adaptation that does not come close doing any part of the original story justice.It's not even the good kind kind of awful where you can laugh at the awfulness (like Plan 9). I found the expansion of Rock Hudson's role irritating and distracting. As many readers have noted, it is dog slow. During the Father S and P segment, I actually fast forwarded through 15 minutes of plodding dialog.My prayer is that all copies of this awful movie will vanish like a dying Martian civilization.
