Reviews
KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?
Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
Pluskylang Great Film overall
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
matt-sickle As other reviews state it will be too slow for some. However I found it to be extremely well made. Puts Hollywood movies to shame. One of the most realistic and gritty post apocalyptic movies I have ever seen.
hcoustal You dive in the world of a lonely guy, trying to survive after an apocalyptic event. It's not a fast action movie, there is a lot of tension from the start till the end. It's not about big explosions and guns, rather interactions between this guys and 2 strangers.Its an excellent movie but don't watch it if you re a bit depressed, it's in the same vein than the excellent "The road". Dark and hopeless.
stratus_phere This is the kind of movie you can watch in fast-forward, with only a pauses here and there to sniff around. In fact, I recommend it.But even if you watch the whole thing you will be left with lots of questions. What caused population to fall after oil production fell? Once population fell, why was food scarce? Why didn't more people grow food? There was nothing but land and wilderness as far as the eye could see, but only one guy growing a tiny little patch of vegetables? Why did the guy grow such a small patch? Why didn't they expand the garden when the women showed up? Why not use that open field to grow even more food? So again...why on earth was food scarce? Was there some rule that only this one guy was allowed to grow food? And at the end when she finally found a settlement, why were the people walking around in the grass pretending it was a farm? There were no fields of vegetables, only grass? Was that a movie mistake, or did they plan to eat that saw grass? And lastly, what the heck is wrong with people who can't make a decent, believable movie?
kmweir-57189 I must have missed the masturbatory scene and I am glad I did. This was definitely a man's film. It is better to see a movie this depressing when it has some beautiful scenery, like Dr. Zhivago. (I didn't like Dr. Zhivago, either.) I just wish I had read the reviews all the way down. I just saw all those stars and the praise. The worst part was the complete lack of communication. You would think that when the oil runs out and we have no technology, that we will talk to each other again. The one good thing about seeing this movie is that you realize that most of history and most of the world has to struggle to eat but most of us who can afford to rent a movie don't have to think about it.
