As much as I like reading, I'd prefer a movie because I could watch it with someone else and get to react to things with them as they happen. You can't really share a reading experience until after both people have finished, and how long that takes is going to be wildly different compared to finishing a movie separately.
Watch a good movie. Books tend to take time that I don't have, days weeks or months to read through, and a movie just takes an hour or two to watch. When it's done I can go do something else.
