I actually prefer the movie over the book, I'm not saying it's a great movie or anything, but for something so hyped the book was a major disappointment for me. It desperately wanted to say something meaningful about the human condition, but ended up more like a shallow airplane read. I was waiting the whole time for something interesting to happen, but it never did. The movie version was at least stylish, well-acted and halfway entertaining. I thought Alex Garland's other novel The Tesseract was far better, but then that was made into a direct-to-video movie starring Jonathan Rhys-Myers.

I don't know but it's my favourite Danny Boyle movie. The only one I go back and watch again.
