[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 6260900, member: 177"] You can do as you wish, of course. But the movie is inconsistent with (and outright contradicts) the book in much of its content. I don't find that justification for the movie acceptable, myself. Plus, even when I've already swallowed "zombies!", that film has some "science" that is so egregious that it makes me want to hurl objects at the screen. It's just awful, IMHO, and I would prefer to simply ignore the movie. I was considering this just recently. I've come to the opinion that much of what makes the book series good is the internal dialog (well, monologue, I guess) of the main character. That's not something that is frequently (or ever?) done well on screen. Representing the events of the books in normal third-person perspective would lose so much in the translation, that I'm not sure I'd want them to bother. [/QUOTE]
