Anne McCaffrey has written some of my favorite stories. I love every Pern novel I've read, but I must admit that I stopped after
Master Harper of Pern. I really couldn't tell you why, just that I did.
Count me amongst those worried about the movie.
Dragonflight is a good length for a movie. It shouldn't need to have the story condensed in any way, but... so many of these movies keep the title of the story and jettison the story itself only to replace it with a campy parody that is woodenly acted on low quality sets before the uncritical gaze of poor directors who just seem to want to collect a paycheck. Not that I'm bitter or anything.
Of course, even if it sucks I'll still probably buy it on DVD.
