They took an incredibly fascinating story, and did absolutely nothing with it! As you stated, this movie has no connection at all with the REAL story, except for the fact of there being a rocketbelt in it and 3 guys wanting to build it. If you book were seriously considered for a movie, and they wrote a script that even remotely reflected the real story, it they would end up with a real blockbuster of a movie. Instead, they wrote a movie that was bland and had ZERO of the really interested stuff in it from real life. It is a shame, and it is a travesty that they would treat this story with such disdain. I suggest that we treat this movie with the same respect they treated this true story. I suggest that any true rocketbelt enthusiasts STAY AWAY from this movie, and not spend any money at all on buying it...unless, of course, you can find it on ebay for $1.50, and even then I'm sure you'll want your $1.50 back, along with the time wasted watching the movie! Very good review, Paul. Hopefully your book will be picked up by a serious writer, producer and/or studio in the future. Derwin I couldn’t agree with you more, Paul.
