Customer Reviews

Written in conjunction with the movie's production.

Sometimes, an existing book is converted into a movie, and they usually get away with saying "based on," so they can do everything from abbreviating the story to downright telling a different story but using the same name. Other books are written after the movie. This can sometimes clarify what you watched. Of course, that depends on what clarification is. The book "Forbidden Planet" by W. J. Stuart is a good example. This book, "2001: A Space Odyssey," was written in parallel with the movie, and each gave feedback to the other during their production. Be sure to read the forward, which tells the differences and why. The story gets a little wordy in its descriptions, but at least you will know what you are looking at in the movie from this description. It is hard to describe the plot without spoilers; however, what if we were engineered to survive? What if the project to engineer us is ongoing?
