the movie is not about infertility or a sci fi action flick. The plot doesn't even matter at all, that is why some critics and dumb-asses who cant think for themselves don't get it. It doesn't force feed information into you, its not a film about setting or time, but a film about emotions, the whole film comes together with the yarn of one's own heart when the scene goes black and tries to string together whatever kind of humanity that is within you. It's not universal film to me its personal.
this is easily one of the best movies of the decade. the scene where they rolls royce into the the high security palace with the "crimson king" playing is probably my favorite scene of the decade. the giant greek statue... so much to like about this film, it's a masterpiece
iam an very frequent movie "watcher" and i´ev done that science i was a little child, trust me i know about movies, I say that not in a purpose of bragging, but this movie directly hit me hard and i could not stop watching it any way in the end of the movie i put this movie on the top of my favorite movies and i was sooooooooooo choked when i found out that "Iron Man" had higher ratings in IMDB only after first or second week, so i agree with you this is the MOST UNDERRATED MOVIE EVVVVEEERRR !!
This was the first movie i've seen in a long time that hit me hard and kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. The last movie to do that for me was Saving Private Ryan. I too think that this movie is way underated and underwatched.

Of course birth rate is dropping in some parts of the world. Hello, abortions! That's one of the main reasons why we are not having babies. We are killing life before we give it a chance to live.
mathematicly in 50 years the population will jump by 10 billion. thats alot. it will be too late for people to realize pro choice should have been more availible.
if you find that movie crap, it's probably because you don't (want to??) see what's going on in today's world. COM is possibly the most importnant movie released in the last couple of years!
But although being not very scientificly feasible, the backstory sure provides a brilliant and provocative topic to think of - Cliwe Owen's line sumed it up really well : "Ever since women aren't able to have babys, what's left to hope for ?" How would humans behave in such a hopeless, pesimistically driven world ? That's the question...
No, you're wrong. The question is.. how did such an appallingly crap film ever get released? Was this film an experiment to see how stupid and gullible people really are?
Criticize James's original novel instead. The film is an adaptation of her book and the plot is the same... So I don't understand, why your complaining just about the film... :-/
dont show your stupidity to the world, or your ignorance. just because you are a fuckin retard and dont understand art doesnt mean this film is bad. go watch barney maybe you wouyld like that.
First, AIDS/STD rates would, at least briefly, go up because some people would feel emboldened about having unprotected sex. The entire enterprise that makes its money selling to children would collapse. School workers, from the janitor on up, would have to find other work. Would this result in the whole world turning into Beirut? I don't think so. As everyone got older, they'd be less interested.
Yeah, good remark there with "Beirut" and the realistically grounded points, buddy. Anyway, it remains an open topic for speculation, just because of it's improbability...
Well, the idea of mankind losing fertility completely is really just too exagerated. Don't blame the film for the strange main theme, it just follows the eponymous book, that it is based on, written in 1992 by british author P. D. James (known mostly for her detective stories).
humm will people ever stop having babys? i find rly its a scary tough because well... rly zombies pff nukes meh...but no babys thats rly scary to think of if people die everyday well end of world ya no
I don't believe in this bull-shit because the people (media) who are making those kind of films knows very well that a lot of people are searching for this kind of sensation. They simply feed the painbody of people who are frustraded and these people have mostly a very negative view of the world. Put in the search balk the name "Eckhart tolle pain body" and listen to his words what he has to say about this kind of movies.
"Some people somewhere in the world would most likely be immune to whatever microbe comes at them". Yes, and as we know some people are immune to AIDS, too. But that's not the point of the film. The movie is about the loss of innocence, not of fertility. It tries to say something about the modern world.
SnackPimper has been spreading that message on all of these COM videos lol give it up. the movie is brilliant to watch, simply for the cinematography. i agree the storyline misses it's mark, but is wonderful nonetheless. plus there's some Radiohead music playin' in one scene haha good stuff.
Phenomenal. Absolutely stunning. It is very symbolic in many ways, and as they say here, you can really take what you want from it. Very profound, but still many small laughs that give a little relief.
This stinker of a movie has a ridiculous plot, wooden acting and a naff ending, so why has it been talked up so much? Are the film studios are trying to recover the money they wasted on this turkey by flooding these sites with good reviews? DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE!
can someone PLEASE answer this: ok i might be stupid or something but in that scene where she is giving birth to her baby, is the actress ACTUALLY giving birth?? it looks WAYYYY to real to be fake. anyways, 5 star movie.
uh no... when the baby comes out it is obvious it's CGI; babies that young (newborns) are pretty much NEVER shown on screen-- watch any older movie, the "newborns" are usually 3-4 months old
Amazing flick. I like how even though there are no more children and no hope for humanity we're still waging war and killing one another. There are a decent number of laughs in this movie even though it is as bleak a film as it is.
Woah same here. I only cried once and it was at the scene where they stopped everyone shooting for that period of time. I just couldn't believe that 'that' was the only way to pause a war.
There aren't many movies that I can call TRUE favorites, but this is one of them.
