I trade the market as a living. And people who are gold bugs tend to believe in the end of the world and how they will be the only ones that will survive. Yet I always think in the back of the mind that when the world collapses it will not be romantic like fight club. It will be like this movie.
This movie is hard to watch, much like Blood Diamonds, but it is good. Yes it is slow, and not constant action. That is the point of the movie to illustrate how when the world ends it is not constant action.
Many reviews talk about how dark and bleak the scenery is. I think the scenery is a nice back drop on the fact that life in the world has boiled down to basics and essentials. It is not about reading books, playing games, or listening to music. It is a never ending constant fight for survival and sanity.
Throughout the movie I was just shocked and riveted by the actions, and it was not until the end of the movie where I felt like crying. Not because of sadness, but because of the mixed emotions of the situation. A sort of relief valve mechanism.
I write this as I am ripping my movies from DVD to a personal online iTunes media server, and can't get the thought out of mind that it has been a long time since I watched a movie with this amount of emotion.
Good job all around...
