*** "Now, to be fair, this movie deserves a 6, but I feel I have to downgrade to 3 to offset the 85% of the viewers who don't seem to realize it only deserves a 6 or less, not a 7.9. Yes, the visuals and action and scariness are not bad, and the movie could easily be a 9 based on that if it had a plot. But the plot fails so spectacularly that is is painful, yes painful, to even reflect on it in any detail. It just makes no sense, cannot withstand even the teensiest probing. Nothing any character does follows from anything. Nothing about the society holds together. The only thing that lets me get to sleep at night is the comforting thought that the screenwriters didn't care whether any element of the story made any sense, they were only looking for visual appeal. The movie can only be enjoyed by non-English speakers (without subtitles), and those who are immune to thinking." ***
After watching this movie I was wondering "well what was the point? And where is the Sci-Fi? So, there is this only woman who is miraculously pregnant and we have to get her to a safe place, against all odds. Fill the show with a lot of violence, action, misery, and decadence and a few heart warming moments, and you have your typical big Hollywood production. This is a "lowest common denominator" type of movie. Here is a list of what's missing: 1. How did humanity get to this point? 2. What is so different with Kee that she was able to conceive? 3. What will be done to use the knowledge resulting from the investigation of question 2 for healing humanity?
