For some reason I didn't watch this movie before. For what I heard about it, I was expecting more dialogue, focusing in the high concept of the movie. But I was surprised with the amount of action, thrilling moments, and persecutions that serve the concept. Normally I would be let down by that focus on action, but this was expertly done from start to finish and we had enough plot and emotion to go with it. Amazing movie. Clive Owen is the boss.

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.

Wow! I've never been so let down by the user ratings on a movie before. Warning! Spoiler to follow: This movie SUCKS!Admittedly, I skipped over this movie when it came out because the storyline synopsis didn't appeal to me. But it showed up in a list of all time greatest sci-fi movies so I checked it out on IMDB and saw the great reviews so figured I'd give it a try. Wish I hadn't. Watching it to the end was painful -- like poke me in the eye with a stick painful. The only thing that kept me going was the thought that something spectacular happens near the end to warrant the score on IMDB -- but it only got worse. Save yourself 2 hours of your life and don't watch this one -- despite the reviews.

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!
