    Not out of the realm of possibility

    by becksmom

    Call me typical, but I wanted a nice neat ending to this movie. I'll echo what other reviewers have said about the movie not explaining the infertility issue or the human project. Paints a depressing but realistic view of the near future, something that you could see happening, given human nature. Kind of distressing for new parents.

    Very Creepy

    by jsttsl

    Somewhat along the lines of "A Day After Tomorrow" & "I Am Legend" it-could-really-happen concept, this movie scare the crap out of you deep down inside. Clive Owens give an Oscar winning performance in this dark thriller as the amazing cinematography grabs hold of you every step of the way. Rent this one, watch it at night in a dark dark room, with the surround sound blaring and let it completely absorb you.

    The entire movie is just done so well...the script, the acting, the story, the production.
