the books are incredible. the lingering sense of dread that is evoked through VanderMeer's writing can't be beat!
i'm still going to see the movie, however. ;)
What’s wrong with the movie?
The books are excellent and the movie looks like a CGI nightmare and what I’ve seen in the trailers, appears to deviate greatly from the books
The books are excellent, I agree. And from reviews I've ready, it does seem to diverge greatly. But they don't claim it's a CGI nightmare, and none of this means that the movie doesn't stand alone as a excellent bit of Sci-Fi.
