Becoming more of your average, ordinary post-apocalyptic adventure, that comes out every once/twice a year.CMrok93http://www.dtmmr.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685634083080876125.post-68176413323449147352011-01-10T15:49:47.250+00:002011-01-10T15:49:47.250+00:00I know what you mean about it being difficult to p...I know what you mean about it being difficult to pinpoint what the film lacks. Even though I enjoyed hearing the novel read aloud I'm wondering if the voiceover had something to do with it; as you say, it perhaps adds to the whole issue of giving away too much and presenting a level of obviousness.Sam Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05696602364349746693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685634083080876125.post-15542178853197530902011-01-10T13:00:49.672+00:002011-01-10T13:00:49.672+00:00I can't say that about atmosphere but the film...I can't say that about atmosphere but the film definitely lacked in something that I can't determine. I read the book first, but still liked the movie and even gave it a 4 star rating... Probably, the main issue for me was that right away Mortensen's character disclosed in the narrative who they are hiding from. If I made this film, I wouldn't let this fact be uttered aloud at the beginning for viewers aren't stupid, they would get what kind of people father and son confront.<br /><br />PS Probably, everybody knows what I'm talking about but I decided not to be precise to avoid spoilers, just in case.Lesyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11785171567540455637noreply@blogger.com
