Agree, it is a dark and ugly film, don't lose your time on this one.

I agree with the post saying it is ugly. However, to be honest the first movie was dark and ugly. But that movie was art underscored with Vangelis' amazing music. This one is yet ANOTHER ugly and violent movie. It starts off with horrific violence. I knew I should have claimed back my time after that but I skipped over that part and dove in for the scifi fun. There wasn't any. Sure it was originally meant to scare us straight, show us an image of our world if we do not change our polluting, Earth destructing and society destroying ways but the violence genre has become SO UBIQUITOUS that no one is noticing any longer. It was meant to warn us about the horrors of AI and genetic engineering and what would happen to our planet if it were allowed to continue. In fact the violence and depravity in movies is what is causing our society to be so backwards. People are so indoctrinated, so steeped in violence they think it is normal. Of course the it's-cool-scifi kiddies are all over it delusional of how exciting they think a world like this would be. But it isn't. The biggest hole in this movie is there is no way such huge populations of people could be sustained when there is no where nor any way to grow any food on a planet that is barren and destroyed. The movie ends off leaving us with no hope whatsoever. It's not worth paying to go see movies in theaters anymore because they cannot get past the constant non stop violence ad nauseum. The only thing audiences might get out of this (but not likely anymore) is this is the horror our world will look like if we continue to destroy it and destroy our society with immorality.
