Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

This film takes the best 5 minutes from Soylent Green and spins it into a full blown movie. Poignant.

The self-sponsored death rituals for the rich people could be well arranged to accommodate with their last wishes before going away from this world. It's like buying a prepaid gift card for yourself, but no matter what, you've got to have money to buy and pay for it out of your pocket. There are people celebrating their birthdays, there are people pay tribute to themselves for their long and short existences in this world before they leave it. But there's a basic catch; you've got to have enough money to do either or both. We saw so many poor people who didn't know what their next meals were, they were condemned once they were born. Living became their immediate burden, so their birthdays meant nothing but curses they didn't have any right to choose or refuse. While what we've seen in this film about the prepaid arrangement for their earlier demises instead of their natural deaths were just so expensive, yet they would have the luxury to choose when and where to die unnaturally but peacefully. Death to these rich people seemed to be quite different from those condemned convicts to be executed with chemicals. Both rituals always got some witnesses when they drink their dosage to usher in the coma or to be injected with poisonous chemicals on the execution berth; the former choice we call euphoria, totally different from the scare-sh@tless death on the execution date.I would and could never comprehend why a birthday is so important to most of the people, rich or poor, and why facing the death would be so scary and fearful.You have to put yourself to become an ant; they are too many and they are facing unnatural deaths all the time, they don't celebrate their birthdays or need money to prepay for their thoughtful arrangement of deaths. We people who are alive never let go of an ant, as soon as we see it, we just kill it without any hesitation. Suppose you could treat yourself like an ant, your birth or death would never have to become so important.

A pretty predictable movie with great performances. Ruined so much by an awful unimaginative score. The string quartet was almost turnoffable and the repeated theme of monotous chords boring and uninspired. Music can make a movie. In this instance it failed it. Shame.

The Imdb synopsis hardly gave anything away. So I decided to watch the movie on the basis of the three main stars, Vikander, Green and Rampling! As the movie went on I started loving it more and more. To be honest I am totally against the main component of the movie, the "leaving" part aspect of it. But again I found it a very good movie about estrangement, reflection, reconciliation and love. I give it a thumbs up! At best of times it's very hard understanding what Vikander says. I had a hard time hearing her in Submergence, with the annoying loud background music and all. But I am glad to say I had no trouble hearing her in this movie. I highly recommend this movie!
