Watched this tonight. If any of you are into Terry Gilliam films (Brazil etc), this movie is for you. He of course didn't direct this, but it's very reminiscent of his past works.

Yeah I had watched this movie I think a week or two ago?  Definitely interesting I thought, but I wasn't too keen on the ending.  I'd recommend it overall though!

I thought the ending was pretty interesting. Poetic almost. He was spared something early on due to others plans. In the end, the thing he was spared he gave willingly.

 

I think I know which part you mean, but I also found that interesting.

Yup, it was interesting PK, I have to give you that.  As I said though I'd recommend the movie for a casual movie night just sitting around.  For what it was I thought it was pretty cool.  I like sci-fi movies and it had a good premise.

 

Almost kinda reminded me of Bioshock in a way.

I only watched it because it was recently added to a media server I belong to. I almost stopped watching it in the beginning because it seemed a bit hokey. I can suspend my disbelief, but only for so long. But then, small elements started trickling in that reminded me so much of Terry Gilliam. And then more and more. Then I was into it and started to enjoy it a lot.

Mmmhmm, I can totally see where you would get the Gilliam vibe from the film.

I think I'll try and watch this tonight.

I hope you do.

It was worth a watch, but it was odd as hell. The ending was really bad.

Odd like a Terry Gilliam film. haha

 

I wish they had just ended it after he gave up his arm for the small child. I thought that was some awesome redemption for his past wrongdoings. That ending would have been so much better. Instead, we're left with one boy, one girl and a polar bear. Not exactly Adam, Eve and the apple, but I guess that's the futuristic version.

Yeah, would have made a better ending. 

Or just about anything that didn't end up killing everyone on earth. And what was with the kid that went into the device at the front of the Engine?

At first I had thought you meant the kid that escapes and was inside of the engine. That little white kid was a fail safe of some sort. Brainwashed somehow to override the controls if the conductor wasn't able to do them himself. Just sitting in a box if and until his hatch ever opened. lol

lol. Guess that's a useful skill.  Ah well, there was a large need to just accept the movie without asking questions. Odd, but worth a view.

Definitely suspend your disbelief in a big way, yes. lol
