Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Keira Brennan The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
AudreyToo I decided to watch this because I liked the title. Had I known that Keira Knightly was in it I might have chosen something else. I wish I had chosen something else.I would formally like to state to all other nations that not all English women talk like Keira Knightly. Not many people in the UK actually talk like that at all. It is really really annoying so I'm glad that we don't.I got a bit excited right towards the end when Steve Carell was going through Knightly's characters record collection and he flicked past Magnetic Fields 69 Love Songs. I was hoping to just hear one track from it to take my mind off this dull, rather pointless film, but alas, it didn't happen. You just get to hear loads of Scott Walker.
nlytnd_1 Boy meets girl. They fall for each other... the end. Sometimes it's on a sinking ship. Sometimes it's while they're looking for treasure. Sometimes it's while people are trying to kill them. Sometimes it's just for the hell of it. This time, it happens when the world is coming to an end and there is only 3 weeks to live. Sometimes one dies, sometimes they both die, sometimes no one dies. Sure the occasional romance story can be entertaining, but does ever frickin story by default have to be centered around a romance? Will we ever be able to sink a ship, end the world, or anything we can name that won't be centered around a love story? I'm counting down to the day when that happens. Sure, hooking up with another person or finding the one is fun, but there's deeper meaning to the human experience.... isn't there? I'm glad that they didn't name this - Leon the Professional Part 2... In 15 Years It Won't Matter Anyways. Obviously they couldn't bring Leon back, but it was nice to see how Matilda ended up. Little spoilers below Random thoughts; I got a kick out of the meat head still going to the gym, however an entire restaurant staff still going to work with a less than a week to live... pretty lame.
estronbase While watching the first 15 min. I was thinking that this is just the sort of film I really like, science fiction with a little humour. I don't mean Star Wars or anything like that. Just one idea, the end of the world in this case, and then examine the effect this has on different people in different situations.In fact, I would recommend the first 15 min. to anyone. It's really well done.Unfortunately the film then turned into a love story. Not my cup of tea at all, especially as for me the chemistry between the two lead characters just didn't work.I watched it to the end but only because I was impressed with the start.To sum up:- I would advise anybody to watch the first 15 min.I advise everybody to stop watching if they find it becomes boring, because that's just how the rest of the film is.
Radana This movie was terrible. I expected an interesting watch as the topic would suggest. Instead there was this boring man who didn't seem to care much about anything who met this irritating female character played by Knightley. She was so fake in this role, I didn't believe her anything - when she was sad, it was fake, when she meant to be nice and thoughtful, fake again, she was just playing it so badly. I didn't manage to watch this movie till the end, waste of time. Very superficial overall, not funny, not sad, not dramatic. Nothing. I've never liked Knightley much but I thought she was a good actress, however, she definitely killed this movie. She is not a universal actress or the script was so bad that the actors gave up on it. To summarize, this is very flat, boring movie.
