The pace is so slow and well..it's just that...nothing happens. At all. For the entire length of the film.
2 out of 10. It deserves a little more than that but I just don't care.

After trying at least a dozen times to read the book, imagine my shock to learn that the movie adaptation is boring as well?
Timeline - Lord, it was horrible. It might have been at least tolerable, if not for Paul Walker. It's like they took Ted "Theodore" Logan and slapped him down in the middle of King Lear. If not for him (and that horrible french guy who played Francois), then this movie might have been, well, not the greatest, but at least mediocre.
They turned a mediocre Michael Crichton and made an embarassingly bad movie about it... I guess, in hindsight, that's just about right, isn't it?
Oh well - 3/10 for me. Paul Walker replaced with wood carving in non-speaking role - 6/10 He was really...really that bad.
