sabinabellet First I have read the book and couldn't stop my self watching it's movie. Movie is good , liked it but seriously book was better. Even though it will be my recommendation to who wants to watch a dramatically interesting movie.

ratari Good actors, dull movie. It starts off interesting and decays into a dull morbid, depressing and unrealistic B movie. Makes about as much sense as "Killer Clowns From Outer Space", at least that had some humor in it. It's "Lord of the Flies" goes blind. And it doesn't get a sight better.

bejaouizied The film does not match what I have imagined when I read the book. The scenario of the film is quite similar to the story however the image, the way it's filmed and the colours caused a lost of originality that the book offers, the book has lost its soul when it has been filmed. Worth watching though.

thereasonforlifeismemes *Disclaimer*I have read the book before watching the movie, but not completely. So if you are trying to find a review for which the reviewer has not read the book, you were close. Also spoilers.The first thing which struck me when watching the movie was the ethnicity of the first character introduced. My reason for this is the fact that the book made no mention of the man's ethnicity in the book, so the choice is something which I am questioning. Not to say that he was a bad actor, but I do wonder the reasons for the choice.The world was very grey and bland. Even before the blindness struck the city, the sky was grey and everyone was wearing grey or dark colors. Although it fit with what I imagined beforehand going into the movie, I was taken aback by exactly how much grey I was presented with within the first 20 minutes. The plot was consistent and linear, with some scenes questionable, and it is clear within the first minutes of the movie the type of statement it is trying to make. The problem however, is the feeling of emptiness I got the more the movie progressed. Not a feeling of sadness mind you, as I found myself not connecting with the characters in the least, but the feeling that the director for the movie was just as blind in what he wished to portray as the characters in the movie. I got the feeling that it wished to tell a story of dehumanization and disease, but refused to delve deeper into social commentary and felt stunted when watched.Few scenes stuck to me when watching this movie, with only two of them being intentional. The first was the roughly 5 second part played by Sandra Oh from Grey's Anatomy. The second part of the movie which stuck to me was the grossness of the asylum to which they are confined. Fake poop everywhere, trash littering the hallways, layers of grime covering both the people and the walls, all contributed to my feeling of sickness when watching. Although some might say that the director went overboard, I commend him for really immersing me in the setting during the period of the asylum. The only two scenes that was intentional and not just my reaction was the scene of the man and scene of the radio. The part of the "man" which I reference is the part where we see a naked man walking down a road, naked and sunburned, lost. I loved the position of the camera, I loved it all. The other scene, the radio, was more heart-warming. The blind staying still, not making a sound but aware of everyone around them, while music which they have not heard in ages reminds them of the outer world which they are restricted from contaminating.Other than that, I found the movie to be very average. I would like the say "the book was better" but I have not finished the book so I will just keep my mouth shut.
