It looks like an interesting movie.

I'll definitely be seeing this - I've read almost all of the Dirk Pitt novels.  I have read, however, that Clive Cussler is upset about the movie because the script was changed without his permission.

CT calls it "lifeless," giving it a mediocre review and a 2-star rating.

The more I contemplate this movie, the less I want to see it.
I love the Dirk Pitt novels, but if Clive Cussler is sueing the people who made it, that means they deviated from the book too much and this may just be another adventure movie that has no relation to the book.
For those to have seen it, does it follow the book pretty much?
