I saw it, after so many people liked it, and I thought it was kind of good, kind of not, but felt it could have been better perhaps. For one thing, we see more of the teens side of the thing, more than the government's side, but that made me want to see more of the government's side, cause I found them more interesting.
The movie also has a lot of weird moments in, such as perhaps having one of the most over the top and awkward villain deaths in a movie that is suppose to be serious. There was also a lot of scenes of people pointing guns at each other but no one is shooting, which I found hard to swallow and just felt characters would pull the trigger sooner in those situations.
Also, the blood and gore is so over the top, to the point where it comes off as comically gratuitous and not sure if that was the right approach, since this movie wants to have deep things to say, but at the same time wants to cross over into grindhouse movie territory.
So not sure how I feel about the movie on a first viewing, and felt that it missed opportunities to go better places with the story perhaps, but what do you think?
