Saw it.

It's so-so. The ending was horrible.

Just reminded me of his Maximum Overdrive movie where everyone is stuck in a gas station rest stop avoiding all of the 18 wheelers.

Rental only.

Go see No Country For Old Men!!!!! Great movie!

Darn, too bad it's not that good.  I too read this as a kid and thought it was a great story that would make a great movie.  I'm curious about what's so bad with the ending that's horrible, but please don't spoil it here.  I'll definately rent it as it has to be something pretty special for me to go see it in the theater. 

I went to a movie in a theater for the first time this year just last week, and that was to watch Blade Runner: The Final Cut at the Cinerama in Seattle.  I've now seen every version of Blade Runner (original, Directors cut, and Final cut) on the big screen.  I have a very nice home theater at home that is more comfortable, has better video and audio qualty, and serves better refreshments (cocktail or beer anyone?) than any commercial theater  :cheers:  so I prefer to watch movies at home.

Hint, the ending is "bad" because it is EXACTLY the same as the ending in the book. I loved the ending of the book. It really stuck with me the first time I read it.

If you want a ---smurfy--- happy ending, go watch War of the Worlds. When that ending popped up, I wanted to chuck my drink at the screen.

Touche'. I forgot the water thing was the original ending.
The whole ending of that movie pissed me off though - the boy living with no explanation and beating the dad back, New York decimated, and Boston suburb perfectly fine even though the robots are like 2 blocks away.
