Taking classic science fiction novels and converting them into large budget films has been the main Hollywood business model since the 1980s. They adapted work from all the great science fiction professors, with the exception of one of the most important: Robert A. Heinlin.

For decades, it was known as one of the pillars of thought in thinking forward. People called it the Dean of science fiction and discussed whether it was greater Science fiction The author of all the time or only in the first five.

However, regardless of the nineties of Paul Verhofen Championship forces The film (which resembles a little Heinlin’s book), Hollywood was not serious about converting any of his many works into screen projects. The closest Heinlin came to obtain the appropriate recognition is Elon Musk Name it from artificial intelligence, after a word he used in his most famous book, Strange in a strange land. Grok means understanding something completely.

After years of overlooking it by a modern pop culture, in 2021, the Japanese climbed to correct this error by adapting the largest masterpieces of Robert A. Heinlin in a feature film. It is called both the book and the film The door in the summerAnd as much as I want to report that someone has recently done by the Dean of Science Fiction, on the screen, he glowed with all the energy of the glorious soap opera.

The door in the summer It is, undoubtedly, one of the greatest travel stories through time written. It is not a story directed towards the movement, but James Cameron borrowed some of her best ideas to make films, and you will find DNA in films like Lapalso. Heinlin’s book is better than that.

The story, as it was narrated in the film, includes a robot world torn by its partners and commented on a cooled freezing pod against his will. He wakes up after 30 years, looking for revenge and returning to his time. Mostly, he really wants his cat.

The door in the summer It is, at least, a loyal adaptation of Heinlin’s book. The dates have been updated, and everyone is now Japanese, but nothing else has changed in the process of converting it into a text. This is part of the problem.

Books and movies are different media, so convert a book into a movie called adaptation. It should be adapted to suit different format.

In a book, it is good to have a group of scenes with a man in his home talking to his cat, before anything exciting. In Robert A. Heinlin, this results in one of his best writings.

Heinlein begins The door in the summer By telling the story of a cat that hates winter. The film also does this, but on the screen, this means that you start your exciting scientific movie in the walls of the apartment decorated with the gentleness of the apartment while you don’t know some people you don’t know yet about its cat for ten minutes.

Changes were needed. Part of the reason why these changes do not occur is that this film does not have a budget to make it beyond showing within the apartment of some of the man. Many of The door in the summer It was filmed like first -class soap opera, not a movie.

INSTEAD who took us to the future like Heinlin’s novel, The door in the summer It begins in 1995, so the future can be in 2025 friends. It is cheap for photographing scenes in 2025. Walking out and scoring the camera in the current world. Cheap but not interesting.

Heinlein’s work is so cool that the movie release works in moments, despite its restrictions that it imposed on itself. The dialogue, especially the parts that have more than heinen, is often good. Although the scenes that are filmed as filmed in the hallway at a home care house, many of the film’s representatives are also very good.

The film begins slowly, perhaps very slowly, but as soon as it begins travel elements, as well as excitement and passion for Heinlin’s story. With better cinematic filming and as a result of Hans Zimmer, you will flourish through your TV speakers, The door in the summer The place where Henlin had recently had a suitable adaptation.

Unfortunately, what The door in the summer I got a low -budget Japanese MovieE when he needed a great effort in the budget under the eye of a studied director, such as Dennis Villanueva. This hasn’t happened yet, so if you are a fan of Heinlein’s work like me, I am on the waiting list Netflix.

Whether you are watching this version of The door in the summer Or not, do not stop searching for the ideal adaptation. Maybe one day, if we continue to open the doors, we will open the door until the summer.
