Ratings and reviews

It isnt a bad made movie it is just a stupid concept. The whole premise is just hard to stay with. A lot of things dont add up. The movie just gets dumber as it goes. Books are some underground religion suppressed by some Alexa device and a group that wants to suppress thought via social media. Well you don't have to burn books to get people to stop reading and thinking. All you have to do is make them Democrats.

Another sci-fi classic ruined by the modern take on it. As usual, hollywood misses the point. This is something that does not benefit from chases and explosions. It's a good read, but should not have tried to come to a screen. HBO failed with this, but I just don't think that it should have been made.

I didnt see this version. Was looking for an image of the 60s movie. Read book or watch that one. Keeps the concept. Its not an action thing, its a mind thing. This book and 1984 written after WWII. Alternate futures. Just like the sci fi now that has everyone living on Mars because of our oil glutteny.
