Good books seldom make the transition onto the screen-and this was no exception. It left out some of the juicier, controversial pieces of the book having to do with the Catholic Church's history, but still had plenty of great scenery. Hanks was good, but McGregor stole the show.
For Star Tr!ek fans(old and new), this is a "must see!" For those of us that fell in the category of older treckies, we were not disappointed. The casting was super, and the dialouge was perfect. I plan to see it again, and purchase it when available!
