I think I misrepresented myself. I didnt mean to say the movie was not to my liking, I just really enjoyed reading the book 1000x more than watching the movie. I feel that (as always) the book had much more depth (for obvious reasons) and more thoughtful character development.
That being said, I do have to admit that it was an excellent movie adaptation, and I agree that it is one of the best out there. The movie didnt dissapoint me like most movie adaptations do (except for the fact that they cut out some of my favorite scenes, and merged two characters into one.....again..for obvious reasons, amongst them being the constraints involved with making a film). I'm just glad I read the book long before I saw the movie.
Other than that, right now I'm looking to read a few more of Gibson's novels.
There's also this one trilogy that's always intrigued me; I will be sure to read it in the not so distant future.
Its by Jack McDevitt
Chindi
Machines of God
Omega
I dont know too much about the story, but what I did read sounds a bit interesting.
