Too thought provoking for this world

Rating: 9/10 (17 June 2008)

I found myself enjoying the entirety of this movie. It was very clever in its ideas and dare I say that something like this could possibly happen? Who knows, this is sci-fi. Its about time someone took a giant leap from the usual "end of the world story". I'm tired of seeing the same old crap, aliens invade and take over the planet, there is some natural disaster that causes everyone to die on this planet, etc. etc. etc. etc. Who would have thought that it would have been something you see everyday that could cause this? Who would have thought that it is something you take for granted every day that could have caused this? Would would have thought the end of the world is caused by something that has been right beside you your entire life? I know teenagers will be disappointed when they leave the movie theater after seeing this. I think most of them can comprehend or appreciate what the director was trying to do. Some adults will be too, that is, those who can accept someone trying to break the mold of the conventional end of the world story. I think it's refreshing when someone takes a bold step to try something different like this. It's a step in the right direction. I was pleasantly surprised.
