The changes were subtle but there. Where is the geek wet dream moment of an Old, Fat, Past his prime guy scoring the hot heroine? That sex scene minus the beer belly sums up the whole movie. They did screw with the ending. Rosarch's journal was made meaningless by the lack of The New Frontiersman as a character. I left feeling that they did the best could for 2.5 hrs, but that the fact remains, you could not do the GN justice in that time frame. For me, it was the cliff notes.
