Very, very similar to the Tom Cruz movie version.

Seems that version is closest to the original composition.

Yes, the 2005 Spielberg / Cruise version is superior to the 1953 George Pal / Barré Lyndon / Byron Haskin / Gene Barry version in several ways:

— It’s closer to the book.
— It has better acting.
— It has better special effects.

And yet I still prefer the 1953 version by a wide margin.
