I dont see how anyone could hate it, it was a very welle executed film IMO, especially the war scenes and the marvellous direction and cinematography of the car chase.

I thought it was very good, the only let down was the weakness of the ending for me, other than that, I really enjoyed it.

I hated it, it was at least 45minutes too long.

All the futurey stuff was half-arsed, like the cars - people were driving round in 20yr old Transits that looked just a couple years old.

Michael Caine was cool, dont like him as an actor but his character was the only likeable one in the whole film. So they killed him off, same as they did with Julienne Moore who got shot because...

Did that fat woman die in the end? I lost interest halfway through but I was rooting for a grisly death - for them all, but her especially.

It was a happy ending - theyre all sterile. Mostly :)

Actually, the last 10-15minutes werent too bad and I liked the end scene - get it on DVD and skip forward to that. And even though I didnt like it Im still kinda glad I saw it cos its a different, fresh kind of rubbish.
I know sh*ts bad right now with all that starving bullsh*t and the dust storms and we are running out of french fries and burrito coverings.

Well you can understand the lack of new technology when society practically collapsed 20 years ago.

I thought it was really good :)

Gah, Ive been rumbled!

Yeah but no but what about the train he was on? That was one of the really old ones and theres probably only a few left around in 2006.

And what about Julienne Moore? Shed be like 70 but she looks only like 50 :P
