  I thought this was moderately interesting, but it had tons of plot holes and unexplained events that just made the movie feel kind of arbitrary.

  The reviews say that the book is completely different from the movie.

  Quoted: Things not explained in this movie include: the title, The Human Project, the infertility, the reason for the treatment of the immigrants, what happened to the rest of the world...and I could go on. Michael Caine is a complete sidebar with no real purpose to the story line with holes that you can already drive a tractor trailer through.

    Yeah, the movie did leave a lot unexplained, but I don't really see it being possible to try to explain all that stuff in a two hour film without completely destroying the pace and energy (which is one of the films biggest strengths). I also felt like it was ok that most of that stuff was unexplained. Who cares what the human project is? And who cares why people are infertile? Why would knowing these things help understand what Clive Owen's character is experiencing? I was able to simply accept all of these things as premises for the movie and pay attention to everything else.

    yah, those are valid points. i guess the issue was that movie came across like it was trying to be much more than an action movie. as such, that left me expecting more of the plot.

    I was very disappointed in this film. Poor acting, lousy continuity, pointless violence. I expected better.

    Bummer. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Amazing cinematography, incredible action shots, suspenseful all the way through and an excellent ending.

  Movie of the night.

  Quoted:In 2027, in a chaotic world in which humans can no longer procreate, a former activist agrees to help transport a miraculously pregnant woman to a sanctuary at sea, where her child's birth may help scientists save the future of humankind.

  Saw this today... Really fascinating premise, with some great moments & acting. But somehow I have a feeling the movie doesn't do the book justice. Anyone read it?

    I haven't read the book, but saw the movie because of the interesting premise. I was greatly disappointed in the film.

    We saw it recently too. It was interesting, but I didn't like the ending much at all. Haven't read the book, but I'm starting to believe the book is always better!

    I absolutely loved this movie. Huh - different strokes I guess.
