That's one of the problems with movie adaptations. Things inevitably have to
be cut out or reduced for time. Director's visions, Studio's goals, etc. often
differ from the author's vision.

That doesn't always mean that both cannot be enjoyed for what they are.

The first time I watched District 9, I was conflicted. I wanted to like it,
but I didn't. It was difficult to figure out why. The story line was
interesting, the characters were interesting.
It took several viewings to really like it.  I'm not really sure why even now.
