    Soooooo depressing! The trailer leads one to believe that this is going to be an action packed story. It is anything but. The story, while beautiful and sad, moves across the screen ever so slowly. The future looks dark, dirty, bleak, cold, aggressive, dangerous, hopeless and lonely. i kind of felt this way after watching this movie last night.

    As depressing as it was, it was powerful in it's message. Very sad and dark from start to end...with that said, prepare for it.

    Fantastic acting, compelling and dangerous storyline, and a terrifying post-apocalyptic world. Some parts will seem dull, but you can't overlook the overpowering feeling of loneliness and heartbreak you will feel throughout.
