Why
I saw it twice in the cinema, and this is probably the sixth time overall. I think the last third of the movie is a bit disappointing (both the too happy ending for our main guy, and the whole evil corp that’s like a more twisted evil version of the US forces), but I love the start of the movie. Magical. Some very creative people worked on it, and the acting is on point as well.

It’s good!
It's probably been long enough now since I read the book that I should give it a shot. It's got a good cast.

I used to share an apartment with a buddy that felt the same way. We talked about the movie, but never saw it. I’ve never read the book.

The movie is ok so far.

A plane crashed into the house he was thinking of buying, so he immediately bought it. His logic was that there was now no chance of another plane crashing into it.
