Orwell's book was a harsh statement on the nature of politics and humanity in general. The metaphor of farm animals may seem a little absurd, but it worked. This movie does not. Aside from taking questionable liberties with the story (what's up with that ending?), the production felt like something a high school theatre group would put together if they had the resources of Turner Network Television behind them. A huge disappointment. A waste of vocal talent. A waste of money for TNT. A waste of time for anyone who's read the book.
