The Day of the Triffids (2009)
Dreadful adaptation
How can such an amazing story be ruined? The writer of this version seems to know well how to achieve this - with ease.
I found myself on the side of the triffids wishing the main characters would just become fertiliser. Hard to watch it to the end in fact am writing this whilst trying to do so. This is the third version I've seen and rubbish compared to the other two. No problem with them making an updated version but they've changed it throughout for the sake of changing it and made it thoroughly dull. Why have a character to blame for releasing the triffids? why have someone survive a plane crash? why do the plants have to have ridiculous roots that grab things? Is this meant to make it more exciting?
Avoid this and watch the 1981 version instead.
