Query: Poor compared to the book

After reading the fantastic (5 Star) novel Left Behind a friend lent me the video. I was very dissapointed as the movie is an abridged version of the book with some parts rewritten to speed up the action. The result was a rather boring movie with virtually no character development. Almost none of the underlying reasons for what happens is revealed in the movie. This was very important in my enjoyment of the book. I supposed if I hadn't read the book I could have enjoyed it as some low budget action flick, but over all I can't recommend it.
