I have watched this movie last night for the 1st time with the book in the back of my mind. I can comfortably say that it was very poor to put it mildly. I gave it one star rating and I hoped there were even less to award. The acting is poor. The storyline is poor. The directing is poor. Nothing good you can talk of.

How did you see the movie? How did you rate it?

Free movie night tonight :)

I thought it was pretty good. I gave it a 7 out of 10.

i also think it was pretty good, i'm not a purist that hates this compared to the book

directing? are you kidding Cuaron is great.

i gave it 8 just for cuaron, maybe ethan was lacking a bit in the acting but overall good and not to mention the great songs that i still have on my mp3 player

and to checkout more of cuaron's work i strongly suggest Children of Men
