I had thought about reading the novel before watching this series, but I did a quick inventory of how many books I have lined up to read and decided to go ahead and watch it. Overall I found this futuristic film to be entertaining. A few of the characters were two-dimensional or without much depth to them and elements of the plot brought Orwell's "1984" to mind, but considering the complexity of the story, I thought they did a credible job presenting it so I could follow it.
I won't give away any of the plot points here, but I will say that there was a moment near the end where I thought they were going with a denouement that would not have felt real or satisfying. But they veered slightly away from it and I felt better about it.
