Interesting. The film was utterly boring, weak and predictable. Oh look, more special effects... (I fell asleep during Star Wars and still haven't managed to enjoy any of them!)Try Jurassic park
Probably would work better as a book with a decent narrative where the story actually matters.
2001 is like that too. The book has to explain the meanings and cannot rely upon whizz bang thud... So much so that the book's based on Saturn's moon, not Jupiter's because the film's special effects weren't up to creating Saturn's rings.
