I'm going through all of PRESTON and CHILD'S books and I thought it would be cool to watch their one movie adaption. Wrong. They changed so many things from the book that I became resentful and bored. It was ALIEN meets JURASSIC PARK. This is an example of why I often really don't like to watch a movie more than once. I like to keep the original impression in my mind. Often , repeat viewings ruin my pleasant memories. Anyone else have an opinion on this movie or book?

I've never read the book, but I saw the movie for the first time about a year back and absolutely loved it...was throughly entertained from start to finish.
Probably one of the most fun modern "monster" movies that I've seen, IMO.
