hard to believe such a great book and movie could be ruin by infantile and cheap and melodramatic and two dimensional writing and directing and camera work and but this be a great example of how it can be do . unwatchable . pointless love story . robotic character . tv style and quick take and short attention span and wannabe thriller movie making . one hop the director and writer never get another tv credit again . crichton should sue . i could tell from the first 30 second of the film that it be go to disappoint and be a predictable and unimaginative a it be . not even hbo for pre schoolers . see the original asap . it can be watch ten time and not be as boring a this remake .
