Conned?
Look, I know theres quite a few movie buffs on this messageboard and it's not hard to tear apart a film these days, but this movie had an inarguable depiction of humanity in some scenes.
To each their own but you're acting rather desensitized towards opening up to what this film was portraying. I know saying that is just asking for an argument to start, but this movie touched me on a deeply humane level. Conned is such a shit thing to say.
Did you get it? Are you over it? Are you beyond it, you fucking critic..

"Overall not the great movie some are hyping it up to be, but it was slightly above average and somewhat entertaining. I probably wouldnt see it again"
I second that, well said.

i thought it was a pile of shit... with exception to the scene that everyone is going on about up there. no substance to the story and the end made me want to wretch.
nice effects, some nice action... i thought the rest was boring filler that led to pretty much nothing by the end of the move. crap :)

Jesus, I can't understand why people hate this movie so much. I thought it was truly superb. The most effective, striking movie I've seen in YEARS. At the very least my favourite movie of the past year. As far as i'm concerned, it's a masterpiece
But hey, each to their own

I didn't even notice the scene everybody raves about. to me, it was just another scene in the movie that sucks you in. I went to see it with high expectations and it didin't dissapoint. that's a good sign always.

i liked it. i like the way its just a small part of a bigger picture. it is really just about clive owens character. he's in every scene of the film. it starts when he is drawn into the story and ends when he leaves. all we know is what he's told and what he's there to see. i like that as an expository device. the sense of dread in the film caused by mankind realising it was coming to an end was great. i also loved the cinematography. the acting was a bit shit in places though.
also im not sure about the big scene at the end being all one shot. i thought there were a couple of sly edits but i could be wrong.

from what i read about it, they did use a couple tricks and it wasnt an *actual* single long shot. however, i believe the whole thing was done in something like 2-3 shots, which is still pretty impressive when you take in to account how much is actually going on onscreen the entire time and they still made it basically seemless.
holy-wood magix ftw!

I just watched this film last night. I'm not going anything to provoke those who think it was contrived except maybe to say get fucked. It was a well excecuited hypothesis of the future, visually stunning and featured 1st class choreography.
4/5

just finished watching this...
ok, things i learned from this movie (spoilers ahead, duh!):
without children smiling all world will go to war without any other apparent reason.
with one and ONLY ONE exception: the uk... assuming because they were cold, child eating bastards in the first place?!?! ("bloody catholics...!" ?!)
refugees from all over the world would come to gb, there they would be treated all equally like the scum of the earth, shot at will and put to concentration camp like prisons.
ah and speaking of which, another thing i learned is that germans hate being caged up. with black people.
ok, résumé:
children=cute=the only reason not to shoot your neighbour
war=very, very bad :((!
germans=xenophobic
black, hip-talking young ladies who can't count the people they slept with or remember their names / old, reefing hippies who always know the latest, fancy conspiracy theories listening to APHEX TWIN and who love to fart around= teh good peoples, so pure and funnyLOL!
governments=bad, because they bomb their own people for reputation or some shit like that.
weird towel heads screaming allah akbar=never to miss in some uprisings in the streets!
hmm, come to think of it, maybe this was a BIT clichéd/ paranoid/ pointless...
and that 15 minutes "ultra-real-live-civil-war-shot" (with penderecki's threnody for the victims of hiroshima playing haha wtf) a BIT gimmicky and tasteless considering what we are used to see from recent/actual events and without serving any concrete moral message.
hm, ah but no, c'mon! i mean babies... they ARE so nice to look at right! from now on i will try to do my best to become the nice human being and reproduce like hell!
10/10!!

I thought it was cack, trying very hard to be gritty and bleak and ending up just being silly. Pompous, ham-fisted garbage. With an ok soundtrack. Bleh.

i cried in the end, thank god for humanity! haahaahaa.
no really, excellent film, some of the most interesting effects ive seen in my life (the riot scenes is out of this world). the scene where they flee away in the car with the bike chasing them shooting julianna moore is one of the best ive ever seen. so incredibly intense. and the ending was quite touching too.

The chase through the woods scene was one of my favourite too. Have you watched the "making of" for that scene? It's really clever how they did it.

Sadly, they didn't show how the bike going over the bonnet bit was done. It's possible they just actually did it with stuntmen. A 30mph off, with the vehicle hitting it going away from where you're going to come off, on mud rather than tarmac isn't so bad if you're wearing body armour and a spine protector.
