About the film:
Richard Viktorov made a movie in this novel and it is very well executed nonetheless. As for criticism on the literary aspect of this piece, some of the parts is more like a verbal essay oriented approach. The analysis that the director has made in the literature and then the writing that became the script is just praiseworthy. The movie is full of action, adventure and since it is in visuals, you must have a better outlook towards the understanding factor.

The writing piece is very well written from an analysis made on the literature point of view. It is not easy to assemble an entire novel with such delicate word choice that is easy for everyone to read. During the analysis of the writing, the literature point of view on the paper model is very attractive. One can really go into a deeper state of mind and have a visual intuition while reading. The criticism that can be made on this piece is literary good as this is a novel and not an essay. One must really give it a read in order to have a clearer state of mind.
What to expect:
The biggest thing when you are reading a novel is what to expect. Since it is constructed as a literary paper and then analyzed into a movie, the writing in the novel and the script is bound to differ. But if we judge the story line on the basis of that, we are making a mistake. You can expect an intense story line-up with science fiction as the baseline. Another thing that you can expect is the production which was in the mid 90’s. If we compare the quality of production to that of the movies that we see today, we are less likely to be satisfied. But if you want to see a good story line followed by good direction and acting you are less likely to get disappointed.

Comparison: The novel is a writing piece that will take a few days for you to finish reading depending on your reading speed. The movie, on the other hand, is a summarized, audio-visual version and you are less likely to spend more than a few hours. So, if you are looking for a quick face-off, you should opt for the movie. But if you are looking for something that can be considered as a pass-time for you, not to mention if you are someone who likes to read the novel, you should opt for the book. The last thing you want as a reader is to get familiarized with everything instantly.
Conclusion: After you read or see the piece, you will not be disappointed and that’s a statement of confidence from a critic. Some people may find the movie to be a little out of the world but that’s the concept of it. The movie is imaginary and not optimistic. If you are a dreamer, then you must know what you are looking for. For someone who is more of a doer, this movie may serve the purpose of a one-time movie. That depends completely on the perspective of the reader or viewer. Just make sure that you know what you want. Either it is a long stretched piece of literary work or a short-time brief of the entire movie embedded in a movie.
