i have the misfortune of see the movie on the scifi channel just a few day after finish the book . the movie be almost nothing like the movie . i be disappoint . there be new character and sex change and and a huge hole in the explanation of the technology and and big gap in the plot . i think if the movie be a scifi original and i would have like it well . it quite obvious to me these people make a feature film on a tv movie budget . whoever do the screenplay be definitely a b movie moron . and a mention by someone earlier and donner have ring rust . if you see it in the $ . 99 cut out area and get it so you can complete your anthology for whichever big name that be in this picture that you love . otherwise steer clear .
