If you haven't read the original

I haven't read the original book, so when I watch the movie, the storyline is fascinating, and it's hard to imagine that the world has changed because of an accidental glitch. For example: when you wake up in the morning, you sneeze a little, and it just hits a mosquito. It flaps its wings twice and then falls onto the spider web and is eaten. Hundreds of thousands of years later, one day humans discovered their Life has suddenly undergone a very strange change. Scientists have checked and found that it was your sneeze that killed the mosquito, and it happened to be a special role in the biological chain that affects mutation and evolution, so it caused that one. The chain reaction of series horror, a mosquito decides a world, can it be imagined?
As for the film itself, actors, acting skills, special effects... just one word can describe it, it's bad.
Of course, these have nothing to do with the author of the novel. If you haven't seen the movie, I recommend reading the original novel. After watching such a bad movie, you feel that the novel is unparalleled. What could be more convincing than this.

    The first half is well adapted, but the whole novel has already been told, so the second half can only be made into a thriller action movie? However, at the end of the novel, it is indeed quite far-fetched to only change the election results and the text. In the movie, the handling of the changes that lead to the evolution of various species is more reasonable and has drama to play. I have heard the theory that time effects work in the way of time waver.

    This film is really like what Su Hong, a red policeman in "Sci-Fi World", doesn't understand love. The special effects are comparable to "Wuji", but it is still a film with an investment of 80 million US dollars. If converted into RMB, it is better than "Wuji" ” is more than 300 million, and the special effects... The dinosaurs are completely incomparable to the ones in “Jurassic Park”, but how long ago is “Jurassic Park” a movie, it’s really a bit fussy. In addition to the special effects, the plot of the film itself is not very attractive, in short, it is boring. The original is "Time Hunt" by Ray Bradbury, and the three stars are purely for the face of the original.
