Wow, this is a long movie and yet they still managed to leave so much out. Of course the book and first movie are so well know that it it's not that big a deal. But what it's really missing is Sting! And the whole movie just looks blah, except the ornathopters which are very cool and slightly terrifying.

It ends after the knife fight with Jamis, leading me to suspect that
part 2 will skip "I was a friend of Jamis" since it does''t come
across as a particularly strong opening after a two year gap.

I was thinking in terms of back story. There's nothing about the AI war or why the Doctor was so trusted or a ton of other details.

It's been a very long time since I read the book, but didn't a lot more time pass between the Change and the invasion?
