Excellent movie! I recommend everyone see it if you are over the age of 17, as it is rated "R".

Definately not a "feel good movie", pretty depressing, but a great movie nonetheless.

[spoiler12c0941e46]Probably the saddest part was when Jasper (Michael Caine) died and when he gave his wife that Quietus dosage thing.[/spoiler12c0941e46]

I wasn't intrested, so I read the spoiler.........

Now I'm pissed because I have a feeling that just really ruined the entire thing and if I ever did want to see it, I'd be screwed (

Not really ruins the entire story, but when you get to the part it won't be as effective emotionally.

I saw the trailer on TV today and it looked really good.

It was really good. [spoilerb1b457b904]I did not like the sudden ending. I wish it should the after effect of the birth. That guy died right before the ending and it was a shit faced sudden ending. Otherwise, a very good movie.[/spoilerb1b457b904]

[spoiler638d6f69da]i think the funniest part for me personally was when they were in the refugee city during the firefight and he was chasing the guys that took the girl and baby. The bit where he runs into this broken down bus with people living in it and gunfire everywhere was hilarious because this old arab guy screams at him in arabic "GET DOWN YOU FUCKING JACKASS"[/spoiler638d6f69da]

the whole movie was painted in a dystopia. To end the movie in the Human Project, or a brighter future showing change would have killed the overall mood of the movie. I really thought it was great, will it go in this years batch of oscar nom's, or next years?[/spoiler8d6cba60cc]

[spoilerce5645bfbb]but ending the movie in the human project/a brighter future is what it actually did with the stupid fucking 'tomorrow' boat. would have sucked, emotionally, but i think a closing shot of the boat with the pregnant woman in the mist would have been a killer ending worthy of the movie.[/spoilerce5645bfbb]

[spoileraa51d5790f]
Yeah, that's a good point. Still a good movie though, but I believe your ending would have been more appropriate.[/spoileraa51d5790f]
