Read More This movie is a great example of clouds with a silver lining. This film takes course in a futuristic setting where humans cannot reproduce anymore children. But all of a sudden a miracle happens a woman has finally become pregnant. unfortunately she is in a dangerous world and the must get to a safe area. it touched me grreatly and cause me to think more on human nature and what would and could happen to us in the future. the camera angles the story the acting and even some of the comedy striked me as grade a material. If you like movies that make you say holy crap or think this is just amazing pick this movie up. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More I can't believe some of the 3 hour garbage that gets nominated for awards and this movie gets lost in the shadows. My Queue was low so this finally made it to my house and i'm glad it did. A good story and acting kept me engaged until the abrupt end. I've never written a review and was compelled to try and spread the word for this movie. A change of pace from the typical stories and well worth the rental. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More This movie had a great premise, too bad they let everything else get in the way of the story. This movie focused on everything but the most important part. The film makers never developed any of the characters. The actors were too busy running away from everyone, and trying not to get shot, or getting shot. Does every other word really have to be the "f" word? There are more intelligent ways to get your message across. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More This movie was just short of horrible. The concept had all the makings of a solid flick, where the writers could have played upon our fears of: a totalitarian state (shown in one brief segment), end of the world (brief clip of burning country symbols) genetic engineering gone awry, religious themes etc. Instead, I believe this movie features no moments with which to bond with characters, no back-story development, no, well, nothing. There were a variety of hints to various social themes such as racism, nationalism, drug use, ownership of weapons, etc...but so what? Movies need more than hints of situations, and to go from scene to scene haphazardly dodging bullets while trying to reach a phantom group is, sadly, disquieting. If there was any innovative thought found here, it was the concept of strawberry-flavored marijuana, which would be an improvement over the federal government's G-14 grape bubblegum-flavored strain developed in the 1970's in Bethesda, Maryland.

Read More My first reveiw said it best, but I was concerned that I would lose my membership or get sued by the producers, or even receive threats from the actors, so I logged back in an hour later and deleted it and wrote this instead. Now having read the Guidelines I will try to leave the profanity and degradation to them. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No |
