I agree with Jurassic Park, but some of Crichton’s other novels have terrible movie adaptations.

I love Congo the book, the movie is trash.

I love Sphere, and again, trash movie.

Timeline is considered one of his best (I enjoy it, but not one of my favs), and the movie is pretty shit.

Rising Sun is an odd case, as I don’t really like either the book or the movie, but for fans of the book, they usually prefer it, and the movie didn’t get good reviews when it came out.

The Great Train Robbery and The Andromeda Strain are classics, but I’ve never seen the adaptations of either.

I agree, though the comparison isn’t apt IMO. Chiang’s was a short story, right? The movie is certainly better, but if I wonder what would’ve come to be if Chiang made it a novel.

It’s a huge reason the Phins have had a great offense this season (besides the cheat code that is Tyreek Hill).
