I looked forward to this movie from the Trailer several months ago, but was disappointed in the constant chaos and confusion. The movie left too many unanswered questions. I really didn't see the need to hide and smuggle Kee out to the Human Project (a secret organizaton so secret we still don't know what it is!). It's fine to see once, but not a repeater or one to buy.

It's got the whole package, an interesting story, great acting and realism. I was actually surprised expecting it to be a bit on the dull side.

I absolutely loved this movie. I picked it up because of Clive Owen [swoon] and I read the box. It sounded just decent. Something to watch when I was bored. Well, first the past few hours, my friend and I have been extremely involved in watching the film. The scenes are shot beautifully and the acting was superb. Everything was so dramatic and fantastic. And, if you are into politics, I would certainly recommend the movie to you.

This movie is shot so well. The script is solid too. Every scene is shot so well that it pulls you in and captivates you. Cuaron has made his masterpiece here. Owen and Caine are outstanding too.

I was so looking forward to this movie! I was told it was so wonderful by many; however, my husband and I came off it feeling as if it had a lot of setting, not a lot of script-- meaning that it was a very dramatic snapshot, but nothing more. The concept is so interesting, it could have been taken so much further. It feels as if it was missing a good hour of plot development and execution. I truly can't express my feelings of this movie well in under 1000 characters, I'll just say I am going to read the book and hope for more. This movie left me disappointed for sure, but cuddling my own baby girl!

There is only 2 things wrong with this movie. 1 is the ending could had been better! i mean really. It feels unfinished! there's not even an alternate ending. and 2 it's not available on blu-ray disc! i mean if your gonna say that hd disc is cheaper to make the difference should go down to the consumer, but of course it isn't! oh well ill have to upscale it then. all in all this is a cant miss for "end of the world" fans!

I thought I was going to see a great science fiction movie. It turned out to be way to depressing and I couldn't wait for it to get over!

after watching the previews on tv, seeing the previews in the movie theatre and reading tons of reviews, I can't wait till this movie comes out on dvd. I've heard nothing but good things about it...and the review of it on www.spill.com kept me laughing, even though i know i'll probably be depressed during this film. I love the director, harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban is one of my favorite movies...so i know it's going to be beautiful, if nothing else.

I was astounded when I saw this film. It was easily the best film I've ever seen. I have seen it twice already and I can't wait til it comes out on DVD. Not really much of a sci fi but who really cares It has a great story, great actors, and very well directed, I would recommend this movie to anyone.
