Too bad. I loved the book, and liked the original movie.
As many others have commented, the script is so poorly done, with so many holes, that some pretty good actors are wasted.
Just one example **possible spoiler**: after struggling for the entire four hours to avoid using her powers at all, she goes ballistic and kills innocent people left and right, before killing the man she really hates, who's standing vulnerable right in front of her? From the looks of things, even Marguerite Moreau (hot, yes!!) had trouble convincingly acting this part of the movie out. It totally makes no sense, like so many other things in this screenplay, too numerous to detail.
A shame, I really enjoy excellent sci-fi action movies, eg, "Pitch Black".
The writers simply tried to load too much into this movie. They shoulda Kept it Simple, Stupid. It probably would have made a much better film.
