I loved the Timeline book from Crichton, but one look at the trailer for the movie, I decided to not watch it. It looked really bad. 5.6 on imdb sort of backs that up I guess.

Indeed. I saw that movie and it was pretty bad. The book, like most of his novels, was a good read though.

I loved the book. The movie trailer made me ashamed of liking the book.
