I thought it was fun.  Other than a few names, lines of dialogue and
some
very generalized ideas (humans fighting bugs who drop rocks...) the
movie
has little-to-nothing to do with the book, but I don't go into the
frothing
fits that some hardcore SST(the book) fans have when discussing the
film.
As Beth pointed out, it's a fun B-movie with some good special effects,
cool scary bugs, and as DAWGIE pointed out a great big "HOLY SHIT"
factor
in a few scenes.  The girls are cute, the spaceship scenes were cool,
and
while there are plenty of holes big enough to drive a tank through in
the
plot and the "science", who cares?  It's a B movie...  

If you're a rabid SST(the book) purist, it might bother you, but as
(Allan?) said, just forget about the book when you sit down to watch it
and
you might have fun.
