Did anyone besides me watch the whole thing? I played the last 2 hours tonight and have not changed my earlier opinion. There were special effects that made little sense except to push emotional buttons and the aliens had better character development than the poor humans.

It ended with vague references to the "overmind"... and when one human asked if that meant "God", there was no reply.

Oh... and many of the long, tedious commercials seemed to have been constructed to be similar to the production itself. I was fooled several times into stopping as I fast-forwarded, thinking I'd reached another segment. I'm guessing that was the idea.

Bah... I think I'll dig out the book and re-read it to see whether "based on" meant 4.21% or 1.63%
