i don't know what to say

Rating: 5/10 (22 February 2008)

I really cant make up my mind as to whether i like this film or not. great story (of course, its Stephen king), great background issues and great insight into how society fails when put under pressure. The grocery shop in which the story is based becomes a sort of mini society with the usual two groups, the religious and the logical.
This feature i liked because the majority just followed the person who offered them salvation and a reason no matter how absurd it seems and this is like all people. put a group of scared people together and they will follow the one who shouts the loudest and offers them a solution. and the ending, it left me feeling a little cheated but i still quite liked it. anyone who has seen the film will know what i mean. i will say know that i haven't read the book but know that I've seen the film, i intend to.
The points i didn't like is the acting wasn't the best I've seen, i wouldn't call it crap, but still not the best and the things in the mist were a little lame i have to say and VERY obviously cgi, and can someone PLEASE shut that religious nut-job up, i understand that this film takes the side of the logical people but give it a rest for 5 minutes please i don't know how many times the word god was said.
all said though, i would recommend seeing it once and making up your own mind, but i would wait until it can be rented cause its may not be worth the 10 bucks for the cinema.
