When I saw the trailer for this movie, I was sure it was going to be another one of those cheesy action movies that was pointless and just full of fake action scenes without any plots line (aka Transformers). Randomly went to the movie and turns out that it had a pretty good plot line. Even though it was a doomsday situation, I liked how it had some elements that were new. It did steal or copy a lot of concepts from movies such as Mad Max and Resident Evil. The part that I really liked **spoiler** is the fact that the secluded area was divided into two factions and one were barbaric in a modern sense as in they used a lot of the old stuff left behind and the other side pretty much went medieval. I also liked how they touched on concept of "survival of the fittest". Overall, the action scenes were pretty good along with lots of gore. The only thing that I didn't really like was the advertisement of the Bentley Continental GT and how it was pretty much indestructible and how the cars blew up the second they ran into something (I guess that is Hollywood in general). Overall, I enjoyed this movie and would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of science fiction.

Very funny movie that may not appeal to everyone
9 February 2008
I rented this movie on accident and turned out to be a very good movie. i agree with what "scoochie9" commented about the movie. Different people have different tastes and this movie happens to fit just what i like. the comedy is pretty dry and also subtle, but at the same time there are so many minor details in the movie that are just straight up hilarious (when rugged first talks to the character of Ebon moss and he says "yeah right"). I do agree that the film had a lot of potential that it didn't capitalize on. I thought the characters could have been developed a bit more. i really liked the way they ended the movie. i recommend this movie to anyone who is a fan of dry, clever comedy.
