What's really sad is I read the book, and it's AWESOME. It's amazing how they can take an excellent book and turn it into a POS film. The same goes for Timeline.
Now having watched the review, I see exactly what pissed me off about this movie.
Where were the fucking killer gorillas? They're the centerpiece to the book, they take so much time in the book setting up defenses, figuring out how these things work--I mean, they're in a shitstorm to survive because of these gorillas.
In the movie, they're just an obstacle to the diamond that didn't matter anyway. Stupid as hell. The movie never seems to find its legs, like it never really knows where it's going or what it's trying to do.
And it still looks like a made-for-TV movie. I just didn't realize there were so many awesome actors in this piece of shit before.

And the Brando cameo?
