Watched it today (may contain spoilers)


It was okay, but some parts were not faithful to the book. It was also a bit anti-climatic. However, the visuals were pretty awesome.

I wish Camazotz was creepier, though. When I read the book back in elementary school, I remember that planet creeped the hell out of me. The movie should have emphasized normal-yet-not-normal uneasiness of that place.

I wondered how that would come across on the big screen. Very good atmosphere built in the book. I think I'd hate to see them try to make a big blockbuster out of any Ray Bradbury story in this day and age. Just imagine - Michael Bay's 'The Martian Chronicles'!
