Summary: TERRIBLE
Comment: This movie is so bad i can't begin to tell people.It made no sense at all.Some poor girl in England is the only women left in the world that can have a baby and her water breaks while everyone is trying to kill her.People all over the world are at war for some reason and England is the last safe place on earth yet there still after her.Do yourself a favor and don't spend the 7.99 for this so called movie.It is on my top five movies of the worst i have ever seen.

Summary: Thought Provoking Entertainment
Comment: My 25 year old son recommended this movie; he has a bent toward music and movies well outside of mainstream. This movie offers meaning at multiple levels - look beyond the obvious. I enjoyed it and hope you find worth the viewing as well.

Summary: Perhaps a New Beginning
Comment: This is an intriguing film that has you going one way, and then turns you around the other way. As the film goes on it is bloody and horrible how the fugees are treated.
I would suggest watching the short interview film under features before watching the movie. That will give you more of a sense of what the film is about and it helped in my understanding. I was not going to necessarily watch this film again because of the violence but after seeing the interviews, I will watch it again in a new light... a new beginning.

Summary: Dull - - I walked out
Comment: The movie tries to be Very Relevant And Topical by littering the scenery with terrorists and mistreated immigrants. The director obviously took a how-to-film-a-bleak-dystopia course at a community college, so the mise-en-scene is properly gray and gritty. But the movie is enough of a hack job, the premise dull and the characters hollow, that my internal alarm "this movie is never going to get anywhere" started ringing really loud after ten minutes. When that happens I give it ten more minutes to show some promise. It didn't. *click*
Customer Rating:
Summary: Devoid of worthy substance
Comment: If you are a 12-year-old know-it-all, an addle-brained leftist or just simple, you'll probably think this movie is all that and a bag of chips.
If you have ever given the weighty issues of the day a moment's true consideration, however, you'll find yourself quickly losing patience with this screed. This is a worthless bit of tripe. It is anti-human and anti-civilization. It is truly abhorrent.
That it was well received indicates nothing more than the shocking degree that self-loathing has overtaken the human experience.
