    Exciting premise but didn't have smooth narrative

    Got exciting premise for sci-fi J-drama. Too bad Takahiro Miki didn't provide smooth narrative to make compelling present/future twists and turns. Both Pete, cat and humanoid stole the show, even more than Yamazaki & Kiyohara's 'barely there' chemistry.

    Heinlein revisited

    Good adaptation of this famous sci-fi novel, a good stepping stone for those who are interested in sci-fi, and have not read the book, (shame on you), read to book and you will see the movie with a different prospective. Enjoy.

    Favorite book

    The Door into Summer has been a favorite book of mine for many years. When I found out they had done an adaptation, I've been waiting for it to come to the USA. It did not disappoint. I do recognize that if you haven't read the book, you may be confused. And key plots were changed to fit into a 2 hour story. But I loved that they pulled dialogue straight from the book. Loved that Pete the cat's greatest moment was in the film. If you're a Heinlein fan, I definitely recommend it.

    Simply amazing

    I'm a huge fan of the novel and I was a bit skeptical after reading some negative reviews from acclaimed "critics". After the first 20 minutes of the movie I realized that sci-fi adaptations have a chance...in Japan. Hollywood lost it and I no longer waiting for any good adaptations from them. But Japan is a totally different story, they pleased my heart and soul with this adaptation, truly perfect. They changed some things to fit the story but I like these changes, organic and logical. People who think that the movie is boring should watch another crappy Hollywood adaptation, for the rest of us I hope Japan will deliver more good movies.

    Wonderful Adaptation!

    This book is one of my favourite Heinlein stories.

    While not a 100% rendition of the original novel, this movie embraces the heart and soul of RAH's book.

    It's an amazing emotional experience to see RAH's characters brought to life and even if with the story modifications, I loved what they did with this.

    Top shelf and a massive THANK YOU to the honourable people who made this movie!
