I did not read the book prior to viewing this film, however I did know the general plot of it. I was pretty sure that I would like this movie, and I really did. It was pretty solid. I don't think it is great by any means, but it is quite good.
After watching this I realized that it was made in 1966. Wow. I had no idea. It really looks like something made much later than that. I am impressed at the work that the crew did to make it look as good as it did.
I can't help but to compare it to 1984, which is one of my favorite books. I did not like the story as well as 1984, but I guess they do differ quite a bit.
I was not all that impressed with the ending though. It felt a little corny to me. It's hard for me to really explain, but it just felt silly. And did that one person really memorize all of Plato's "Republic"? That must have been a tough task.
