Not a bad movie at all, better than the original in some aspects, worse in others. Peter Weller had an almost camp aspect to his character in the original, Joel Kinnaman is more emotionless over all than Weller was, which is more what this remake is aiming for - ie. the removal of the human self, the replacement of a person with a machine. Special effects were quite good, better than the original, but that's to be expected with the passage of time! Haven't looked at any of the extras, so won't comment on those.

Prepare your favorite dishes with ease using this LG LCS1413SW mid-size microwave, which features 6 sensor cook and 9 auto cook options for simplified use. The EasyClean interior easily wipes clean to save you time.
Bought this to replace a Sharp that lasted about 20 years, if that exact one were still available, I would have bought it again. This MW looks good on the counter, but it needs soft rubber feet to keep it from sliding around when you press the door open button. I like the keypad in terms of cleaning, it wipes clean easily, but the buttons can take a medium hard press to register. Sensor cook works perfectly for popcorn. Other units I've owned and used have a minute+ button, hit it once to go for a minute, twice for two, etc. This unit does the same but in 30 second units, so for a minute, you have to press it twice. Also, I'd like to press in the amount of time then hit the timer to time something, but the timer on this is more complicated - you have to press timer, then the time, then start. That takes a little getting used to. One thing I like is that when cooking is done and it beeps, if you don't open the door, it will beep again in a short while to remind you that something's still in there (and keep on doing this until you press stop or open the door).

I've read the book a couple of times and it's a great story, but the movie changed enough things vs. the book that I didn't think it worked that well. I know that adaptations have to condense and eliminate things due to the limits of what can fit, but I think some important ideas got missed in the movie, and the way the relationships between the characters was changed didn't make as much sense. I was kind of surprised to see that Orson Scott Card was a producer on the film. I did like the way the movie visualized some of the things from the book. I kind of wish I had seen the movie first since the book is so much better.
