[QUOTE="Tom Cashel, post: 1438094, member: 321"] The real question is...would revealing it make it any less "semi-annoying"? I have yet to see any commentary on this flick that doesn't compare it to the original, or take issue with the actions of the characters. If everyone did everything logically in horror flicks, they'd be boring as hell. I liked this film; I thought it was creepy, and the front-to-back adrenalin rush is just plain harrowing. Images of that island are still in my head. If the film had any social commentary at all to make, I think it had to do with apathy. The fact that some people just don't have any sympathy for those affected by horrible violence, even when its happening in front of them. I'll tell you...those zombified news reports don't look much different from what's on the news channels every day. Violence on a massive scale, with a collective "whatever" from the TV-fed American public. If the film is actually about apathy and numbness, then it's also neat that it is the #1 film this weekend. It has gone meta. The only film relentlessly violent enough to be more popular than "Passion" in America. A film about the destruction of that last thread binding us together earns comments like, "There's no way that dude would've gone all Hicks with the propane tank." The sequel should be about a bunch of gamers trapped in their FLGS. Maybe then everyone would make the "correct" decisions. But as a film, it would suck. [/QUOTE]
