one of my absolute favorites!

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The acting in this movie is really good.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

great film. question- when the machine blasts off to Mars, does that doom the escapees but save the survivors, or am I missing something? Ron P rocks, every film. Legend. I don't do LOTR, never did, but can see the comparison! Check this YT version, but put English autotranslate on- hilarious! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1v3YGC0_6oU ....this is fun! I get to comment on films.... Better than having boobs. yeah. wow. OK, so you want 10 lines. OK. excellent subplot- it took an old idea, and a new format, and melded it superbly. great performances, lovely casting and outstanding cinematography. REALLY hard to get though!

let's start by saying this....let's hope the writer, director and producer quit the industry and went back to making subs at Subway. 'cause this movie was extremely hard to watch to the end from the poor lines to the cheesy effects to the complete destruction of the world that this movie is supposed to be based on, I'm surprised they found financial backers. but, I suppose to saying goes..there's a sucker born every minute. when news of this movie came out, I was very excited. the world and universe that was created for the books, role playing and miniature games are very rich and exciting. a lot of the technology made sense, there wasn't all the "lasers, blasters and ray guns" of other sci-fi franchises. it's a dirty, gritty reality where a lot of the times the hero doesn't survive nor make a big difference in the ultimate outcome. so, with knowing what the source material was about, I was quite excited. then this abortion came along. poor CGI effects, EXTREMELY poor weapons and effects, poor spoken lines...the dialogue made me want to weep. then there's the MASSIVE changes that came with it. changes to the weapons, technology, the heroes and villains. everything was changed so dramatically, I'm amazed they could still retain the rights to call this the Mutant chronicles. overall, this movie was given the 1 it earned. what is REALLY sad is it had an excellent cast. Tomas Jane made a great Mitch Hunter, even though the character was almost unrecognizable. the other actors and actresses did a great job trying to save this sinking ship, but eve with their frantic bailing, it still sank and became the utter shipwreck it is.

Got this title by chance in the local BB trying to add to my rent amount to get a free one and was pleasantly surprised; while it does have some flaws. They are not really annoying as in most recent ones. It is a good epic with likable characters, a bit on the stereotype range though -that German did have a penchant for explosives- but still they managed to integrate a believable rat pack for the mission with their cultural differences hinted who do not have everything laid for them. Favorite phrase "you "think"is that sort of device?" "Well the prophesy book is not really an instruction manual" whose names I actually managed to remember by the end of the movie. While is not a masterpiece it does deserve a sequel which anyone who liked Riddick and that sort of action movies will enjoy.

In a dark and grim future four megacorporations have replaced countries. Each set on their own continent a brutal war breaks out in a fight for total conquest. But amidst all fighting an even more brutal and fearsome enemy awakens beneath the ground. Through holes in the ground a breed of aggressive and almost unstoppable mutant humans appear. The four factions must start to cooperate, or the continued existence of humankind is threatened.Though the style and tone of the movie is very consistent and well done, with the dark grey mix of futuristic technology and old architecture sprinkled with religious symbols, the reason to watch this movie is the action. That's despite that the scenery actually is better than the action. But who watches an entire movie just for the settings? The action is decent, average but not much more than that. Effects varies in quality from quite good to far too obvious fake computer generated images. Unfortunately the mutant enemies and most of the blood effects are worst, and seem to have gotten the least attention. A movie built around action and fighting suffers from that.The entertainment is good, if you accept the premise and like dystopic science fiction. But the movie will be just average at best.5/10
