This film is a modern adaption of the Ray Bradbury book of the same name and not a particularly good one. It is just a pity that the book's themes are only loosely adhered to.

The lack of sub-titles did not distract as the storyline was well put together.
The cinematography was good to...
If you want to watch something different then you could check this out.
