I saw this movie last week at a midnite show, which is partly
why the movie seemed long to me (it's not, only 2 hours).  The
other likely reason it seemed to drag a bit is the type of story
it is -- really no conversation, lots of trial-&-error stuff
(which gets repetitive), such a slow plot.  But on the other hand,
to speed up the action would be wrong and people would be saying,
"Now how did they get from A to C?  Where's B?"  It's just the
type of story that has to proceed slowly to be told.  My friend,
who has read the book, says the movie follows it very closely.
We both thought the technical aspects were very good.  I'd say
we enjoyed it, but it's no blockbuster, if that helps any.
