Sure the acting was alright. I believed them. But the IN YOUR FACE metaphor was laughable. It was a joke. This movie was so pretentious I almost couldn't finish it. It is trying so hard to be shocking it makes me sick. I will never watch this movie again and am thinking twice about watching anything Darren Aronofsky is a part of.

The acting in this movie is suburb. If you are a parent you can't watch this and not identify with these parents. It kept me on the edge of my seat. All that being said there were some obvious plot holes. The score seemed intrusive rather than helping the story along. It is true there is no "story line" to really follow. It is simply about these people trying to survive. Rather than hurting the movie I felt it made it more honest. That is what life would be like if this were to happen. There could have been more about how the world came to be this way but a creative imagination fills in the hole there without too much effort. This was definitely a movie to be seen and experienced in a theater surrounded by people.
