Draco S Feb 10, 2019 More slightly wide of the mark flawed genius from Wheatley. An impressive piece of filmmaking, but the attempts to make a tired old theme relevant to the present day just don't come off. Enjoy the darkly stylised world for itself, if this is your genre, but don't expect a wake up call for the real world. See more

Han L Feb 8, 2019 What did I just watch? And why did I keep watching it? The best part of the movie was all of the material destruction. I kept thinking "who on this film has to clean all of this crap up. Certainly not Tom or Sienna". What a mess. Literally and conceptually. I can't imagine anyone much liking this film. Even as a future cult favorite. Too disjointed, nonsensical, with insulting sex because humans turn to the basics in crisis, I get it, and animal cruelty. The pool scene could have been fun and gained momentum for the movie but the screenwriter or director couldn't even get that right. There are way better messes than this one. Find them before you watch this. See more

Leia W Jan 13, 2019 tough book to adapt as a movie, and sadly mr Wheatley did not do a good job of it. nice performances by evans and hiddleston, but that's about the only positive thing coming to my mind. as for people complaining about the dog abuse and the violence, the book's full of it, so i don't really see it as a problem.

Jan 7, 2019 Disappointing, incoherent, and a waste of time. I'm not beneath indie movies and the abstract but this is a pointless film. Themes of social and economic disparity are important in many storylines, but since there is no actual time spent in knowing or understanding individusl characters the themes fall flat. The Hunger Games does a better job at exploring these themes. Which says a lot. This movie is more like an art instalation that provokes sickened mood and anguish instead of a film. See more

Anakin M Sep 23, 2018 I had to turn it off simply because I was so horrified by the vivid animal abuse which made my heart rench

Ron S Aug 25, 2018 All the actors were playing very good, but the end left me confused and a little disappointed. In the beginning I found it interesting and promising, but then... I don't know, I couldn't afford all that insane cruelty. Maybe because it is too prophetic? I can't be sure. A movie trying to show how destructive humans could be if they let their ferocity free. "In a completely sane world, madness is the only freedom." - J.G. Ballard (the writer of the book which the movie was based on) See more
