Despite the fact that the actors are very good and fit greatly into the characters the movie itself isn't very engaging, the characters accept their fate very calmly, without planning any escape or uprising which is very disappointing, we do not recommend anyone to watch Never Let Me Go unless your intention is to fall asleep
... View MoreThis is dystopian sf without any sf trappings set, perhaps, in an alternative universe. It's dark, you may want to watch it but if you do, be warned, it's not always easy viewing, either for the emotional content or the story gaps.The 'reveal' is revealed within the first 15-20 minutes but the chances are you might pick up on it earlier.It's not totally original. Check out The Island and if you want to go further back, 1979's Parts: The Clonus Horror.It's based on the book by Kazuo Ishiguro and screenplayed by the usually-brilliant Alex Garland. If you want to delve into the antecedants, Michael Marshall Smith wrote a novel in 1996 called Spares.Given its heritage and gravitas, it seems like sacrilege to criticise this movie but my main doubts occurred early on with the characters' total acceptance of their situation (compare and contrast with The Island) and where the whole world accepts the moral and ethical compass and fortitude shown by their teachers and society. They're free to run around in the world but they have no idea what's going on.It's a big question which the plot studiously avoids.But if you accept it, as do the players, and follow the characters then you'll have an interesting, human, and perhaps even soul-searching journey. Unfortunately, I couldn't ignore this massive plot gap so much of the emotional drama of the situation was lost.Maybe the novel was more profound. The film attempts to be but, alas, it is not.
