[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 903093, member: 63"] I haven't read the original book yet, so don't think that I'm naysaying the movie just because of some loyalty to the text. Instead, I'm concerned about the acting. All the characters were either too over-the-top to be believable, or too subdued to be empathized with. And then, that thing at the end . . . Spoiler Space . . . . . . . . . . . . . When it turns out the whole thing was just a dream? I mean, what the hell was the that? The idea of just waving away the whole story by saying it was a dream is so trite and cliched. I was almost expecting at the end for her to wake up again and climb out of a cocoon full of red ooze in a post-apocalyptic skyline of crackling electrical towers and fiendish robotic overseers, and realize that her whole existence in Kansas was just a lie perpetuated to keep her in line. But no, we're going to have a sequel, probably, and what will it have? Well, we've already had a straw man (har har), a tin man, and a furry. What's next, guys with wheels instead of hands? Ooh, scary. [/QUOTE]
