Review by npollotta

As a published Science Fiction author, I went to this movie with some trepidation. I loved the book, but could anybody turn it into a decent flick? You bet! This was a terrific film and I enjoyed it tremendously. All of the characters had backgrounds, and the aliens were here for an actual purpose, rather than the childish Star Wars nonsense of 'we're just doing this because we're evil. Ha-ha, so there.' The Special Effects were first rate, and the scriptwriter did a bang-up job of converting Hubbard's huge (1,100 page) novel to the silver screen. With plenty of material in the novel left over for a sequel, or even two. Kudos to the cast and crew. Well done!
