Quotes

[first lines]
Man: [over the radio] We have a place, a compound. We have a community. It's safe here. How many of you are there? Are any of them children? Because, the fastest way to get here is by the river, and I don't think you could make it with kids.

With all the hype it's actually a good movie.

A bit over hyped but it's an ok to good movie watchable and intense at times , I would say it's a really good science fiction movie without all the stupid unbelievable imagination.
