Sandkings

After reading and then watching Sandkings I have to agree with Mr. Inloes, the movie was terrible.

I really enjoyed the short (if you can call it that) story, and thought it was original and very creative. However the movie was not good at all. I didn't like that they changed the story, but after thinking about it more, I think that they did this because they wanted to set it in the present day instead of the future. This movie story is the only one that make sense in the present day. In the written story, Simon Kress travels to another planet on his personal space ship to get the sandkings and maybe because the creators of the movie were lazy and didn't want to have to create all of the special effects of outer space stuff, they set it in the present day.

If another version of the movie was made today that stuck to the script, I think it would do very well, and it would be a lot easier to create with the recent computer generated images technology.
