Title: Targeted at a very select audience...
Product review: I've read a number of glowing reviews on this movie, and have to wonder where the scifi genre is headed. It appears to me the movie was created and presented solely as a shock movie, rather than the more conventional "story based" movie. It is evident from the very beginning you are in South Africa, and are destined to stay there. The "news commentary format" left this viewer cold, and the Apartheid innuendo throughout felt forced. Perhaps I, as the viewer, just doesn't want to be reminded of(make that force fed) an infamous part of history yet again! Yes, this movie seems targeted towards a narrowly defined type of viewer...I just don't happen to fit into that category.To be fair, there were a number of scenes near the end where you could genuinely feel sympathy for the two principal characters and had a feeling of a story emerging, but it came a bit too late for overall effective story telling...
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
