Dialogue? Three page script?


Must of been 100 words in this film. Me and my gf found it very frustrating.

In real life people talk. They dont just stare. The movie depicts humans ina. Negative and unrealistic way. There wasnt one small morsel of humor which is very unrealistic. Not even a smile!

go take part in real life instead of just staring at a movie.

I feel like you've misunderstood the world in which this film exists. Clearly civilisation has, to put it mildly, took a turn for the worst. Society no longer exists. There is no such thing as 'chatting', because there is no industry, no infrastructure and no capitalism. Everyone has to fend for themselves off the land or they die.

If this is the world you live in and you've been alone in a shed in the woods for 7 years, you're probably unlikely to be a chatty Kathy when two strangers turn up and have designs on your crops.

It turned out that his suspicions were correct too, as they made numerous attempts to catch him off guard as the film progressed. Why the hell would there be any sense of humour in this sort of film? It would be completely at odds with what it's trying to achieve.

Sorry. People have shown incredible resilience over the course of history and tend to be optimistic even under extreme duress. They would not have acted like that.

I felt that way too at first, but after getting into the sombre, post-apocalyptic mood, it made sense to me.

Aw bless did you have to think too much? never mind a new xmen film will be out soon then you can just zone out again. The film didnt need more words if you thought it did its because its not your type of movie

yeaaah, this film was a true mind-teaser, wasn't it? xD

There's a point to it; they've lost - and have no need for - social skills because they've had to survive on their own for so long...

Whether you liked it or not, it did fit.
