The only film version of 1984 I've seen so far and for some reason I have a feeling that the never versions are gonna suck.
Having read the book I can say that the film is very accurate and true to the novel. The acting is solid and the characters are enjoyable and again true to the book.
Obviously the plot is the key factor here and very clever but if you have read the book you wont be surprised except for the fact that they changed the ending to be a happier one. I guess not to upset the audience since the ending the book gives is so dystopian and hopeless(and excellent).
The small change to the plot doesn't affect the movie that much and you really have to give the makers credit for being so accurate to most of the book. Many of the of the most memorable parts of the book can also be found in the movie such as "5 minute hate" and the jail scene with the other prisoners(if you've read the book you know what I mean).
Even though slightly merrier then the novel its really not happy at all. Its very grim and the clinical look of the sets just creates a very convincing dystopian big brother future with no escape and no one to ask for help.
Recommended for anyone into scifi or fans of Orwell.
