Theo was definitely pro-car battery, though!Originally posted by: GRIFFIN1
The pro-illegal immigration politics of the movie got on my nerves.
SPOILER *** Since the main character never picked up a gun, I'm going to guess that the movie was also anit-gun. Without thinking too much, I can think of two times where he had a chance to get a gun and he just left them sitting on the ground.

I have a question. Do they ever explain why there was so much chaos in almost in the countries and why there were so many refugees going to England and being locked up and stuff? Was it because of how ppl cant reproduce?
No, but I am assuming that people didn't give a crap once they realized they can't reproduce. UK was the only country with some order remaining, so people were flocking to it. Refugees were unwanted because they will "disrupt" the only order left in UK.
EDIT: I found the movie OK, not spectacular or anything. Depressing movie.

I don't get it. People seem to like this flick a lot, and rotten tomatoes gives it a high rating... I watched it this weekend and thought it was anything but exciting or a thriller. It was full of plot holes, improbable/implausible situations, had lackluster acting and generally did nothing to keep me on the edge of my seat. I didn't find myself rooting for the lead to succeed in his quest, I was pretty much disinterested in the outcome.
My guess is the 'critics' just love the whiney pro-illegal-immigrant story line, to me it was just boring.
Shrug, guess to each his own.... I'm just glad I didn't buy it (a friend downloaded it and brought it over).

I agree. Pretty much a waste of 2 hours.
I saw the movie and thought it was terrible. Forget 10/10 or 9/10, I'd give it more like a 3 out of 10 or 4 out of 10. Complete waste of time.Originally posted by: jpeyton
If you only want to watch 10/10 "perfect" movies, you might see one or two on a good year. 9/10 movies like this are still amazing.

Does this have some thinly veiled anti-religeon or anti-Bush sentiment? Cause the way you guys rave about it I'm guessing it must.
