Description
With its almost relentlessly bleak perspective of the future, Alfonso Cuarón's film doesn't make for pleasant viewing. But it's an exhilarating experience because the picture is an incredible dystopian drama that lacks all of the typical trappings of the genre. Set uncomfortably close to the presen ... (more)

While rather keeping the bludgeons tighter on the bid on the moving adrenaline picture flow one, instead of on elaborately woven plots and story telling... though, or just hence, an unshirkably touching depiction of a not to far reached-for future, in the matt...Read more

This film seemed to be released with very little fanfare across the UK and I was apprehensive about seeing it at first. I thought it would be just another film about totalitarian carnage, fresh off the back of V for Vendetta. However, this film isn't generic a...Read more

what a surprisingly great film

Alfonso Cuaron shows us in this film that he is the master of long takes, and few cuts. Brilliantly cinematographed and directed, with a most excellent cast, this is a wonderful film. The bonus feature is something I rarely watch, but everyone will be curious ...Read more

Fantastic!

Unlike the book this movie was far from being a disappointment. Basically they'd just taken the concept from the book and completely and utterly made it their own. It was awesome. The plot was far from predictable, the acting was fantastic (apart from the anno...Read more

This movie stunned me. It bombed at the box office, it got snubbed at the Oscars, and yet just sheer word-of-mouth has put this film in IMDB's Top250. Without a doubt, this is easily my favorite film of 2006, heck, of the decade. Go see it people! Unl...Read more

A clever premise with a totally unexpected twist at the end of the first act that took my enjoyment of the film to a higher level. The cinematography really stands out and there's some decent performances on show, but I found some of the lower cast of characte...Read more

chilling film

The plot was awesome, the suspense was intense, the acting was flawless, but what sets this film apart from others is that this movie has, without a doubt, the BEST cinematography i've ever seen. If it doesnt win at least the Oscar for cinematography this yea...Read more
