In the end, I thought this movie pretty much followed what has become a typical alien-type movie mystery story. It had great visuals and some other original aspects, but I thought they were minimal. The book had its own shortcomings, but at least it had an original story, and the movie pretty much removed this originality and seemed to force the movie down a more mainstream-style story path. There were other very cool aspects in the book that the movie removed, of which I'm also not sure why. Knowing the book and seeing the movie was definitely a negative, but just looking at the movie as objectively as I can, apart from the book, I think the movie movie was just so-so.
