Frankly, I can't remember anything really happening in Rama. It felt more of a nice setting for a good SciFi story, but there really wasn't much going on IMO. Sure, it could make for a nic big-screen flick, if only for the nice pictures, and I am still waiting for a SciFi movie of LotR quality and proportions, but there just doesn't seem enough story in it, and I wouldn't want them to "spice it up", either.

I'd prefer a first-class making of Greg Bear's EON.

Oh I think it (if following the book) could make another 2001

A 2h+ movie with the potential to make people scream of boredom

I must admit I never got around to watching 2001 in full.

At the premier people even walked out, it's one of those movies where reading the book isn't just a good idea its necessary
