I did not read the novel, but the trailer showed promise and I was not let down. Bana, whom I immediately took a liking to in "Troy" and "Star Trek" delivers as do all the cast. Great romance, great fun, original, and truly a beautifully executed film. In particular, the casted children do a marvelous job. This is one the type films that had me completely absorbed and involved. I fully empathized with the quandary posed by the biological anomaly of the prime character. It is my fervent hope that no sequel is made, leaving this in the category of unique, special movies, as once was done decades ago. That all movies were so fine....
