It was OK.

"Since women stopped having babies" is just funny in a British accent.

I think they presented it as more of a thought provoking movie. For instance, in the trailer it seems like Jasper is about to say thoughtful about infertility, but in the movie he was just telling a joke. Still, I thought it was really good.

The war violence was pretty badass, better than some full-blown war movie war violence.

and the flaming car scene was freaking sweet.

saw this today, Clive was great, but I think missing the first 3 minutes of the film left me partially clueless the whole way through it

does anyone know precisely why that black fellow and his posse were trying to steal the child?

Saw it last night, it was awesome! I loved that some parts were absurdly funny, like when Theo tries to draw a boat on the wall. Also I noticed that dreadlock boy angrily says "He was nineteen years old!" speaking of his dead friend. It was like, in that world it's a worse crime to kill someone who's 19 because that's about as young as they get.

I wasn't a fan of the CGI baby though.

Thought it was a good movie, just didn't like the ending much.

And did anyone else notice the amount of dogs in this movie? Everyone had a dog, haha.

The only good part was having King Crimson on the soundtrack, and the HUGE reference to Pink Floyd during the movie.

I didn't like it too much, ok, but not as good as people have been saying. My hopes were high.

ok, I'm going to be "that person" and say that the book, by PD James, is really really good-- I'm going to see the movie tomorrow (now that I've finished the book), but from what I can tell it's very different from the book...for one thing, England-- thanks to the Warden and his council-- has no crime and no unrest and no violence (among many significant changes)....I'm very interested to see how the differences change the "meaning"...

can anyone who's both seen the movie and read the book comment?

***SPOILERS AHEAD***

Ok, i saw the movie today and I thought one of the best things about it was that it never explained why women could not have babies. It makes the movie totally interpretive as how what is causing the end of humanity. As for the political undertones in the movie, I would have to say that you're only seeing this world through Theo's perspective. He doesn't know who to trust, the Government or the Fish? He chooses neither and must trust others who have hope. Remember back to the scene where the British Army and Insurgents were fighting and paused when they saw the baby? They saw hope for a moment, but did the stop blaming each other for the infertility? No, they chose to fight on because that is the thing that has been in their mindset for 18 years.

This movie was awesome... For the car ambush scene they said they had the cinematographer, camera holder and two others on the roof of the car. That shit is nuts

Its a fucking shame the academy didn't give it best cinematography

im not criticizing anyone here, but

i dont see how anyone can want to watch movies like this over and over enough to buy the DVD


i mean ive liked movies in the theater, but knew that i wouldn't buy the DVD because its not the kind i'd want to watch repeatedly enough or want to share with others

so let me get this straight. i say i dont love anything enough to buy it and potentially watch it over and over again. you suggest then that i buy even more movies so i can have variety, while watching the same things over and over again.

that just doesnt compute. i like seeing old and new alike, but im not gonna buy anything because that just limits my options severely unless i buy 1000 dvd's.

most of us still go see movies or rent them

it's not like we're restricted to viewing only our DVD collections

we're not lacking in variety for owning DVDs

even so, if I want to see one of my favorite movies, it's much easier to own it than renting it again and again

i wasnt trying to be nasty, just saying that i dont often want to rewatch something more than a couple times so the price doesnt really pan out for me (unless its 5 bux or less i guess).

it doesnt mean i dont really love some movies, just that some people dont like watching even their favs over and over and over again.
