Title: How did this get such bad reviews?
Review: From the start I didnt have high expectations from this DVD. I never saw the series, and read all the horrible reviews the movie got when it came out. But I rented it anyway, because I like scifi, even BAD scifi.From the opening scenes Im starting to pick cynically at it : why would these people live on this little "island" surrounded by a huge wall and not want out? What happens when the population gets too big? Etc. etc... Im just waiting for the movie to fall flat on its face because of all the plot holes. But then it started sucking me in, and Im wondering what the flashbacks are about, and the other oddities, and Im thinking ok, this is going to be a case of the "huge letdown" when the plot is finally revealed.But it wasnt.Then I realised that all the bad reviews were just that - BAD reviews.This is a good, and suprisingly thought provoking movie. :-)
Is the review positive or negative?
