I think this was a good updating of the book (which I'm far too familiar with) and managed to keep the mood nicely, with people panicking themselves into insanity, noone knowing what's going on and everyone just trying to survive. Especially the intrepid main character, who is actually more focused in the film than his literary counterpart, with his kids to look after.
Damn fine effects too, especially the fighting machine coming through the huge fire wall in the scene with the army. Nice. I haven't been so excited by a special effect since ID4!

Must go again, just for this bit! :)
