Predictable it is not!! It's a scary and thought provoking idea about man's future. The idea of an astronaut caught in a time warp and landing on futuristic and barren Earth and not know it....and then see the Statue of Liberty half-buried in the sand...it's ghastly!! Yes, the ending is different from the novel, for economic reason's, is still very memorable. When you see all 5 films and pay attention to it, the story goes into a cycle and inevitably, will repeat itself.
