Great action scenes, but not much more.

Rating: 3/10 (22 January 2007)

My wife and I went to see this movie because of all the good reviews. I wasn't impressed with this movie. Many others here are calling this a 'thinking man's movie'. Those types of movies are fine, but you have to at least leave the theater with some type of satisfaction. There is no background into anything that was happening in the movie. The only information we had was that no new children had been born in the last 18 years. Well, 27 minus 18 would be 2009. Now, look at how destroyed the world was and how everything is in chaos, wouldn't you think they everyone would be working on trying to figure out why everyone was infertile? There appears to be a lack of updated technology in the movie, but yet in certain scenes you can see what looks like updated technology. A drugged out old man who lives in the woods and smokes pot. This just doesn't seem like a realistic scenario. The reality is that the census would be able to detect a problem like this before it got out of control..there would be a massive panic to collect and save sperm and eggs so that they could create life.
The story line is open ended so nobody knows what happens after this. Just a bunch of senseless killing with no story line. Oh, and who would trust a pot smoking cop. The fact is that none of the story line makes any sense at all. It just wasn't a realistic film. The action scenes were great! The scene where he hits the crooked cop across the head with a battery was pretty comical.
Save your money and rent it when it comes out on DVD.
