You can't understand without reading the book, but it's a good adaptation.

To everyone complaining this is a "terrible adaptation": It is still a great movie. And to be honest I felt it to be very much in the spirit of the book. Read the book first and watch this one second.

The book whilst seminal, isn't exactly a great story in the cinematic sense, so it's no wonder that this adaptation felt a little flat.

I have no idea how you are supposed to get this film without having read the book first.. But when you have I find it decent, at least when you get over the initial disappointment.

Since I rented this film without having read the book, I decided that the least I could do would be to read the Wiki article on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nineteen_Eighty-Four

Pretty interesting and somewhat helpful.

Not thaaaat bad, but this can never be compared to the book of course.. A much better inspired film in 1984 is Brazil from Terry Gilliam

Not a good adaptation of the book. A decent movie in it's own right, but it didn't represent the book well.

Terrible adaptation of the book. Richard Burton deserved a better send off.

Awful adaptation of the book. There really is no need to watch this movie, you will only be disappointed.

vale la pena vederlo dopo aver letto il romanzo, che tra l'altro esprime molto di più, altrimenti non è pienamente comprensibile

I was truly disappointed by this. I dont recommend it. The movie is slow and boring.
Read the book instead.
