Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Nazz86 Not much to say here, terriblly boring, way too much pointless dialogue.
contact-86263 However, now I've got around to watching it - well, half of it - I can see what a predictable cliched film this is.There's nothing new to see here. The film doesn't really seem to have a statement to make and it's just a lot of running around and being politically correct.I'm giving it 3 stars for the acting, which is reasonable if not outstanding, and 1 extra star for having a relatively accurate picture of the future - although I doubt we will ever have see-through screens (why would anyone do that, even if it was possible? Some attempts at showing future technology are really stupid).I got bored by the half-way point and bailed. I can see where it's going but I can't be bothered taking the rest of this boring journey.
kjs2525 This is one very, very scary film. I originally saw it when it was released in 2006. At the time I thought it was just an over-the-top, unrealistic, dystopian story. But after 12 years, the Trump election, many countries embracing totalitarianism and fascistic leaders, not to mention the impact of climate change on migrants and refugees, I now see how this film was way ahead of its time, maybe a future that can really happen, better than anything Kubrick might have conceived (e.g., Dr Strangelove, 2001, Clockwork Orange). Watch it, and then pray this is not our real future.
amyz214 You know that gut-wrenching, emotionally displaced feeling you get after watching the Schindler's list? That was how I felt after finishing the movie. Just silent... and heavy hearted....I first came across this movie when i heard it was similar to one of my favorite video games, The Last of Us. Being a huge fan, I decided to give this movie a shot. And wow, did it blow my mindThe dichotomy the movie draws between darkness and light is astounding. The film leaves you so disgusted with humanity, as people fight and scramble for survival in often brutal and inhumane ways, yet leaves you feeling hopeful for the main characters and for society. How the film balances hope and hopelessness is incredible. It is a must watch!
