This is one of the worst blasphemies of Michael Crichton's work to date. The book was a wonderful, intense piece with exceptional characterizations and a delightful story. Very high level and a delight to read.
The movie on the other hand was a complete waste of money. I'm still not convinced that the person who wrote the script actually took the time to read the book. The movie plays out as though he skimmed the dust jacket and then started writing.
It's only redeeming feature was the cameo by Bruce Campbell at the beginning of the film. After his character gets killed off, don't bother to watch the rest. It isn't worth the time.
If you've seen this movie PLEASE read the book. There is no sense in letting this crappy film detract from one of Crichton's best novels.
For reference, I give this movie a 1 rating, and that is probably being generous.
