This movie gets some of it's ideas from Huxley's book, but basically they just pick and choose certain things they want. The story does not flow in the same way, so SOOO much is missing.
They make up story lines that completely go against Huxley's story, actually made me so irritated to watch this movie.
To name a few points which I found most disturbing: Bernard and Lenina's relationship is portrayed to be way more than it should be. Someone (a Delta) is trying to kill Bernard because the DHC programmed him that way. The DHC is overall just evil. Pope is not in the story at all with John and Linda, actually, the whole reservation thing is completely changed! Linda isn't fat or horribly disfigured by age, but yet she is called fat.
Read the book, it's only like 200 pages.
