[QUOTE="Simplicity, post: 3258891, member: 1496"] Re-reading my last post... I'm being overly harsh. The movie isn't terrible. It's just... not that good in my view. I don't like it for the same reason I didn't like Saving Private Ryan. You don't have to make a movie to point out that people are inhumane to each other. There's nothing novel or even remotely interesting in that statement to me. Watching this sci-fi movie feels like watching a war movie that is tipping its hat at Soylent Green. Here's how I would have done it: Society no longer has children... And so everybody parties all the time. And no one saves money for the future or bothers to work all that hard. And the economies of the world collapse. But someone figures out the cure. But while escaping the authorities, he is ruthelessly crushed on the dancefloor. The end. Oh, the humanity. [/QUOTE]
