A good movie

Even though the reviews were rather mixed on this feature, I was still curious about the damned thing and I was quite eager to check it out. After all, it had been directed by Fernando Meirelles who was responsible for 'Cidade de Deus', easily one of the best movies from the past 10 years, at least, that’s my opinion. Anyway, coming back to our main feature, I thought it was pretty good. Indeed, the directing was very well done and all the actors gave some solid performances. Above all, the story was rather fascinating and it kept me on the edge until the end. Indeed, I always had a weak spot for apocalyptic movies and this one didn't fail to interest me. The main issue, I guess, was probably how blind people were portrayed in this movie, which was basically a very dark and negative portray. Indeed, at some point, most of them eventually started to behave like animals and I can understand that some people would find it rather revolting. Anyway, all in all, it is definitely an acquired taste and I have to admit that not everything did work (the ending was pretty random and a little too easy) but I liked the damned thing and I think it is definitely worth a look.
