I think every part on the ship was my favorite part. Yeah it should be adopted into a movie.

I think it would be great as a movie, but they might have to change agent Silver's ending.

I'm also not a great fan of the ending.

I'm sure there would be some major adaptations before this hit the big screen, but I think it could work as a movie.

I think this would make a successful film. The incorporation of amazing graphics, along with the action-packed story line, should appeal to a wide audience. While it is not a film I would choose to watch, many of my family and friends get excited about new releases focusing on dystopian themes.

I think it would be an interesting watch. Though, you know how it goes, the movie is never quite as good as the book! I think it would be fun to watch Sliver and Franklin's interactions, and to have a visual interpretation of the plane.

I wouldn't mind seeing this adopted into film. About it being a hit though, there's a lot of intangibles for a movie to be considered one.

This book largely emphasizes on a generic thrilling scenario, whose effective understanding can be facilitated by watching, so ,yes, it would be better if it was adopted into a movie.

This might be a good movie, but the physical descriptions don't give much direction. I agree with CatlynnHighlight that translating the book to the screen would be difficult unless there are screenwriters and director who can imagine better the physical surroundings than the author gives us. The political elements are certainly topical.

I agree with the other comments - this would be a great movie! The public loves a good dystopian future novel!

Awesome. It is true that with the inclusion of good graphics this will definitely make a good hit in the market. I bet that that the first viewer of the movie will be from OBC
