What do you think about Angels and Demons movie?

Director: Ron Howard
Based on Novel: Angels and Demons
Novel Author: Dan Brown
Starring: Tom Hanks, Ayelet Zurer
"Though the novel "Angels and Demons" was published beore the "Da Vinci Code", much of the hype was attached to the latter. Apparently I read the Da Vinci Code first too. I was hoping that this be made to the movie taking care about the controvercies though... However it opened with international criticism.
The "Angels and Demons" movie though adhrered to the story line of the best seller by Dan Brown, did have certain fine modification to suit the big screen better. The tone of the movie was mostly narrative, with the narrator being none other than the the Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon.
“Angels & Demons” boldly insists that science and religion must coexist. The irony is Langdon a no favorite of the Holy rescues the belief of the Holy! Dan Brown has a good style in spinning stories with continuity, fiction and irony. Langdon was long denied access to the Vatican archives which would aid to his research on Illuminati; he is summoned to Rome to assess, a deadly threat involving antimatter - created by a scientist/holy man to only prove that science and religion co-exist. His foster daughter Vittoria Vetra who specialized in “bioentanglement physics” plays role with Langdon to help diffuse the anti-matter.
Some interesting scenes which was dipicted very well in the movie were the Vatican Archives episodes; following the Illuminati trail - so the most recent qualified member to the Illuminati would be Prof. Langon! ; The cardinals in the conclave; the anti-matter at the stroke of mid-night - Let there be light... The background music was stunning all through the movie keeping up the suspense.
