have yet to

"I have yet to see this movie, but I am reading the book right now for school."

Is there a problem with the above sentence?

I think it means 'I haven't seen this movie...', but am not sure whether HAVE YET TO Verb equals to HAVEN'T Past Participle.

Thanks.

Yes, I'd agree: "have yet to see X" = "haven't seen X", but with an implication that you intend or expect to see X.

And the original sentence is fine!
