A movie that we anticipated for so long. Finally we watched it just now!
Overall, this is a great movie. However, if was to compare with the real story in book, it's a little difference. Just like the feeling of watching Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (movie). A lot of details (or parts which can be filmed better) were neglected.
But as a person who never read about the story, this is a great (easy understand) movie.

Few comments:
- many characteristics of the roles were changed (eg: the killer)
- storyline altered. (eg: the fourth preferentee was not supposed to survive and the last symbol appearance)
- too brief in explaining the clues during investigation (audience can only follow the excitement without understanding "how")
- they were not allowed to shot in some of the holy places. Hence, many stated places in the book are not depicted in the movie actually.

Anyway, to be integrity and independence by judging it as a movie:
I would give 8/10 rating.



I'm lucky that I just manage to read half way of the story. (bought the book few years back)
That's why I don't know that they actually changed the entire ending. (sayang told later)
But at least I'm clear about the conflict the writer trying to raise up in this story.
It's all about the dilemma between science and religion.
In fact the front part of the book talks a lot about the experiment on "anti-matter" which many people might be blur about. I'm glad i studied it earlier.

Few quotes deep carved in my mind from the movie: (might not be completely original)
"Religion is not perfect because humans are not perfect, not because it is"
"Science is still too young to judge God's creations"
"Believing is a gift (from God) which I haven receive"

过后我们就庆祝Foo的生日了!
