[QUOTE="Dreeble, post: 789842, member: 7322"] [b]Thumbs Up[/b] Heya: I enjoyed it for several reasons: 1) Morgan Freeman is awesome. The amount of slack I'll serrate if he's in a movie is huge. 2) Tom Sizemore is cool. Liked him ever since Heat. 3) I read the book recently and it was kind of fun seeing how accurate (or not) the movie was. As mentioned, the beginning was relatively faithful. The ending was completely [B]not[/B] from the book. Spoilers in a bit. 4) Some good special effects, good scenery, a hint of the kind of dialog Stephen King writes, etc. ... a bit ... Spoilers ... Seriously, spoilers, kind of my interpretation of stuff, tho, so maybe not so spoilerish ... From reading the book, the "aliens" consisted of the red Ripley virus and the weasels that sometimes grew in people who inhaled the virus. There were no "greys", those were just images created by the virus, which wasn't intelligent, necessarily, just striving to survive. Jonesy was influenced by the Ripley, sure, but "Mr. Grey" didn't possess him, that was Jonesy's dark side or something (maybe he had a deathwise, too, or split personality, something like that). And Duddits, while special, was a human. Oh, yeah, when "Mr. Grey" killed people, he didn't morph into something weird, from what I remember, he made them kill themselves. Take care, Dreeble [/QUOTE]
