Good but I didn't like the ending

Rating: 5/10 (26 September 2012)

Mostly the movie gets good marks for plot, characters, suspense, suspense, etc. All good marks. You genuinely care about the characters and what happens to them, mostly. The special effects are also good.
BUT, in the past... I dunno... I guess ten years maybe? The movie industry has gotten so damn brooding and depressing! Every time I watch a movie like this one, it nearly ALWAYS ends in tragedy! What the hell ever happened to the hero prevailing (even if its by a small margin) in the end, and teaching people to fight for survival and maybe you'll come out alive in the end with your loved ones at your side? I'm getting tired of this crap, its getting old and I for one am totally sick of it.
An abundance of tragedies where all the characters you care about die in the end and/or the hero is doomed to a lifetime of everlasting sorrow and depression, is a fad. I get it. But I don't want to see it anymore, its depressing! Why is everyone so damn melancholy and brooding?! I've had enough to last me a life time. PLEASE someone bring back the traditional hero who wins in the end and saves his family and friends! But you know, make them work harder for it. Don't make it easy on them. ;) I'd also like to mention, I loved the message in this movie about how dangerous and destructive religion is and how when the world falls apart, those who are very religious are always the first to go nuts, cause violence, and make matters worse for those who are just trying to survive and keep their families safe. Religion preys on those of weak character/intelligence and paranoid, and this movie really shined a light on that. For that I give it an extra point.
In summery, the movie gets good points all around for all the important stuff, but this movie falls into the fad of depressing tragedies that is turning me off from movies of this genre all together, so that takes off about 3 points from the 8 I originally was giving it. Then one bonus point for a positive lesson. So I give it a slightly above average score of 6 out of 10.
