Can't stop thinking about this movie

Rating: 10/10 (16 January 2007)

This is not a movie that fits into the recent formula films we are seeing out of Hollywood. Nor is it the garbage that critics and award voters like but that no one can stand watching. (e.g. Babal) The less you know about this film before you see it the better. It is hard to describe; it is not a 'feel good' movie but it is a fantastic film and story. I actually found the film creepy and scary for a simple reason, it could easily happen. The film is NOT in the distant future, it does not have space ships, dinosaurs, dragons, aliens, ridiculous science, or anything remotely hard to believe. Like most good stories, especially sci-fi, the story is based on 'what if'. What if something happens, how would that something change other things? Now I loved "Reign of Fire" (also based in England), that movie is 'what if dragons are real and woke up'. Great movie but really, how likely is it that dragons live under London? The 'what if' in this movie is not only easy to believe it is more plausible than people would think. If you are a science type person this film will freak you out because it could so easily happen. Can't wait to see it again.
