Not what I had expected, but it touched some good points

Rating: 7/10 (24 November 2007)

** IT MAY CONTAIN SMALL SPOILERS ** I cannot give it more than a 7/10 because it wasn't what i had expected. Although there was enough gore in the movie, it wasn't by all means scary as the trailer let me believe...but i'll cut to the point.
Yes, there is a mist. Yes there are various critters around(although you only see about 4 types of them really good). And yes there is a crazy woman saying it is the Apocalypse. But unfortunately she begins to be a bit too annoying by the middle of the movie. I believe the most satisfying moment for the entire crowd watching was when she's removed from the picture. But these are all surface things.
What I came to realize once I was out of the cinema is that the movie actually touched a lot of subjects, some of which are contemporary: religion can be dangerous if misinterpreted, people can be easily manipulated given the right circumstances, the army might have a bit too much power, and that fear can make people lose their minds.
The ending, by itself was totally unpredictable and sad, however once it got by that point(you'll know what i'm talking about) i could almost see what was about to happen in the last 2minutes. It was so unbelievable that it was funny to a certain extend, by I'm sure there wasn't one person in the theater who didn't ask him/herself 'WHY?!?!'.
To conclude, if you go to watch this movie, don't go with any expectations and you could very well enjoy it.
