[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read the book last year and really liked it. It was one of the best books I read all year, so I was both excited for and apprehensive of the movie. I read a bunch of negative reviews last Friday but then watched it myself on saturday and... I enjoyed it.  I went in knowing that it was different from the book so that helped.  yes, the acting was clunky. But I like any relatively decent portrayal of world-ending that seems realistic.  I do think that when the $hit hits the fan, it will start small, like our cell phones not working, and we'll all think it's temporary. The great part of the book is that it goes much deeper into the characters' journeys of processing the fact that this is indeed a big bad deal. But yeah, I could've done with a different ending.  Even just the music at the end was like WTF? [/quote]
Were they all so hyper intellectual in the book?  [/quote]

I'm not the one you're asking, but...how dumb are you and your friends that these characters struck you as hyper-intellectual?  Amanda was a little trite, and the homeowner's daughter was a know-it-all in an age-appropriate way, but everyone else seemed totally normal to me.[/quote]
Their vocabulary seemed a bit pretentious.[/quote]
