...I for one could not wait for this film to be over... Booooorring!! I give it a 3 because of the stark way in which it was filmed. The cinematography and locations were good. The acting, direction, story, and dialog was not.
Despite the big names attached to this movie, it really goes no where. I think the only reason this book and movie were 'successful' is because Oprah for some reason called it one of her favorite books. Once that happened the Sheeple lined up to get this movie made. Too bad too, because I had really high hopes.
There were some hints at themes like desperation, starvation, cannibalism, but no real action. There wasn't enough substance to raise the pulse, nor make me feel any tension, the way a post apocalyptic film should.
