And on and on. I think the only thing that was the same was that humans were fighting bugs. On a realated note can anyone think of any Sci-Fi movie (or any movie) based on a book that was actually good? The only thing close that I've seen were actualy Outer Limits episodes that were based on Sci-Fi short stories. Even then they were a bit disapointing.[/QB]

well, all too true. Most movies don't resemble the books they're based on. Just look at almost any Stephen King or Tom Clancy movie. I can't understand the Hollywood mentality to think that they got to rework a best-selling book into a bomb. There are exceptions, but so few I can't think of too many. I did like the most recent Version of The Time Machine. And I prefer The Running Man movie to the book. Those are the only ones I can think of.
