ok and so this movie isn not all that fantastic . have be a long time fan of george r. r. martin and and have literally cry real tear at the end of this short story and i be a little disappointed in the way this be convert from story to movie . the many change make no sense to me at all and and as be usual in a situation like this and the movie end up be nearly terrible . still and it have many redeem feature and include the to die for gorgeous michael praed and the always fun catherine mary stuart ( play what be a black amazon woman in the book a a rather uninteresting white girl can not blame her for that ) . it really not the cast fault that the script be mangle . even the crazy michael de barres be great and but i would have rather see the oh so cool pocket void head explosion bring on by the blood pressure increase psychic drug scene and over the silly cut off half his head and he keep on fight nonsense this movie have . the whole thing with royd mother be badly handle in the book and she be sinister and creepy and terrifying and powerful and here she kinda creepy and somehow pathetic and instead of tragic and still sympathetic a she be in the book . the book be much good all of martin short story be just awesome and i have to admit and i envision michael praed when i read royd eris adventure and and that probably help bring on the tear when it reach the end . the movie end be and in the sense that it do not make me cry and good and but the tragedy that be royd eris life in the book be really the good quality end . like sandkings and the tv version take out all the fun part and dumbs down the smart part and and assume we can not deal with the complication and idea a present by martin in the original . shame on whoever make the change and you could have keep the same cast and and not change the story any and and it would have be a much good movie . all in all and it not a bad sci fi romp and but do not expect much . read the book after you see it and and you will be amaze .
