Has anyone else seen the Road...intense but good movie...i was up mad the father made the boy leave the bunker stocked with food. They had it made, food, shelter, water. and the dad freaked when he heard some noise....i hope i never gets as bad as it was in that movie. There was alot of canniblism...i dont mind eating people if i had too but.....(lolol just kidding) Good movie, i recommend it all...

I am glad I watched but I will never watch it again. If you have any fantasys of Mad Max and being a badass road warrior in the apocolyptic SHTF world this movie will set you straight. The whole time I watched it I kept thinking about my little girl and having to go through that with her.
Besides, that kid in the movie was a little whiny baby and I wanted to slap him every time he opened his mouth. LOL

Don't give too much away! I haven't seen it yet. I did re-watch zombieland though...... Yes I know it's not realistic.....There is no way the last female you stumle across is going to be that hot. Sorry, just sayin....

If you want to take the intensity level a notch higher.....read the book. there were several scenarios they encountered that the movie just left out...Too Intense. That movie will leave you wiped out. He was a dumbass to leave the bumker though......IMHO. Watch it.....it's the most realistic movie you'll watch.

I seriously question the environmental conclusions of the movie. The Earth has an amazing capacity for recovery. I remember in the 70's we were told it would take decades for lakes and rivers to clean up after the clean air and water bills were passed. And the area around Mt. St. Hellens would be a moonscape for decades. Hell, even the countryside around Chernobyl is flourishing.

Anyway, that's my two cents.

I read the book first, which made things in the movie make a bit more sense, including leaving the bunker. I'd say the movie did a really good job sticking to the book, as much as possible in the confines of a 2 +/- hour movie. Depressing though, both of them.
