wow, what an idea from Ray Bradbury, who would have the idea of a bleek future where the lives of the ordinary public are controlled by a domineering government. Hum, lets see, how about George Orwell's 1984. This is a basic ripp off of 1984, except it is nowhere near as good. There is not a much detail in this as 1984. The book is average, but basically a complete copy of 1984, with not as much detail, and a few new things added to make it seem not that alike. The film is even worse than the book, i suggest if you are interested, don't go to that much trouble to get a hold of this film.
