The Tesseract (2003)
5/10
Movie Settings

Warning: Spoilers
I've read the novel before knowing that it was already made into film. I was so glad actually. I was also shocked to learn that the plot was set in Thailand where in fact the novel's setting was in Manila, Philippines - that's why the names of some characters were Filipino (Rosa, Lita,...) I'm thinking now that the movie did not fully gave justice to the original novel. Was it because the director and producer were not Filipino or American? I know we've got the choice of selecting the location (just like the THE GREAT RAID movie) but to alter the content of the story is something not proper. What's your comment Mr. Garland? I don't know why you allow such changes? To those who just watched the movie, you may also opt to read the novel and find out the difference - there's got a lot of difference. Bet, you would say that you only wasted your money for the movie.
