[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is this movie THIS bad? (Leave the World Behind). I just about gave up in the opening scene when Julia Roberts is standing by a window, the camera zooms in on her aggressively to the point where you can see the pores on her nose, and she's like, "I hate this world" and I'm like WTF who made this s**t.

Which is too bad because apocalypse films are my favorite, because I do in fact hate everything about late stage capitalism.

Can someone watch the rest of this dumb movie and tell me if it's worth the rest of my Friday night.[/quote]

I'm not understanding the negative reviews here. We watched it this week and liked it. Def an atypical dystopian angle. It was a little slow and too "artsy" at points. But we liked the plot and the acting. I actually loathe Julia Roberts and never understood her appeal much so she was perfect in the bit---y mom role. The other actors were fantastic, I thought. [b]And the ending was abrupt but appropriate. The girl got what she wanted before the world "ended", so to speak. Hinting that what was coming was really, really bad and it was the kid's last happiness before that.[/b][/quote]

That's not how I interpreted that scene at all.  Yes, she got closure with the last episode she had been obsessing about.  But we know everyone will be fine - at least for a long while - when they all get to the bunker to ride things out.[/quote]

I don’t think the son will be fine at all. He’s already lost most of his teeth. [/quote]
