Interesting set-up for a movie that goes nowhere

Rating: 5/10 (5 September 2008)

I watched this movie because of the good things i have read about it on this site... I guess it was just a slow movie year or something, because this was a boring film. It starts off really good with a post apocalyptic stuck-in-the-supermarket-during-judgment-day kind of vibe, but it doesn't really go anywhere. Instead, the story focuses on the limited interaction between the folks trapped together. For me, this was boring, because i was just waiting for them to leave the whole time. It's like getting stuck in the root menu of DVD or something. nothing ever happens. The cast just slowly learns what we all know from the beginning of the movie, about the origin of the mist, and how it's dangerous to go outside. Boring movie, but some good scenes and good acting all around for what it was. Not a total loss, but not above a 5 out of 10 for me.
