The best sequel of the year and one of the greatest action movies ever made.

I had a good feeling it would be great, but I never expected for it to stay with me this long.

I found the film excellent, but particularly the performances by both actors. The interplay between the characters of Eric and Rey was so well done, like point-counterpoint. Pearce is always good but Pattinson has jumped to a new level, stealing the show yet also somehow weaving within Pearce's. A great pairing.
Not only is it a shame this film is not being seen, but also the calibre of acting is worthy of the highest awards.

Can't wait to see Obvious Child too (I think it's coming to the UK in a few months).

I saw Le Week-end last year, I was so excited (love Broadbent and Duncan so much) but I really hated it… It just bored me to tears.

A bunch of my buddies went and we had no idea what it was about. There weren't too many people in the theater. We were all blown away by the story and the acting. I really like Animal Kingdom so it didn't surprise me that I like this movie also. What did surprise me what how incredible Robert Pattinson was – he nailed the character and with a southern accent ! Guy Pearce always is a strong actor , but this movie would not have been any good with our the character of Rey to ping-pong off of. Really sad more people haven't seen this great film !

It's sad that such brilliant work has gone unnoticed by the masses. Time should rectify this.

You guys are great in your discussing films. I love how it feels like we're having a conversation when I'm reading these…

Great film that seemed to drop off the face of the earth a few weeks after its release.

As far as I can tell it hasn't even hit Canada yet… frustrating. Ditto Snow Piercer two movies I really wanted to see this summer. Instead of wasting my money on crap like Transformers and Spider-Man2 I find myself NOT going to the theatre… well until Guardians of the Galaxy comes out. Got my hopes up for that.

For their part, the critics agreed–Robert Koehler, Betsy Sharkey, Michael Sragow, Joe Morgenstern, Bilge Ebiri and A.O. Scott all gave it strong to rave reviews. It's shot be Romanian DP Oleg Mutu, who also shot the most important Romanian New Wave films. Did anyone at indiewire happen to ever even hear of the film?

It's my favorite movie of the year . It should be up for best picture , actress , director and screenplay , cinematography , art direction and editing . Also while i liked Boyhood i also think it's the most over rated movie of the year .

I understand taking a fiction novel or comic book and making changes to fit the cinematic brush. I'm one of the few who doesn't criticize those changes. But this was taking something very important to a lot of people, and largely backed by real archaeological discovery, and twisting it to push an agenda. In other words: a serious story about the sin of man, God's wrath against said sin, and our need to trust in something larger than ourselves, and it's twisted to be a hippie/political/liberal mess about people destroying green things.

Our sin wasn't industry and harvesting resources.

Our sin was pushing God away. Ignoring him. Refusing to accept our current state and need for Him. We are doing it in society now: indoctrinate kids with psychology and evolution to convince them they aren't special, nor do they have free will – their problems are inherited and not their own. Then put pressure on them to keep quiet about faith by disallowing Christianity in public forums. Shove non-traditional practices down our throats (homosexual marriage, abortion, sex without marriage, limiting how parents can raise their children), and use the media to buzzword us to death by shaping cultural opinion instead of giving the news.

"It will be in the last days as it was in the days of Noah…" and, "…they will become willingly ignorant of the Flood…" Let us not forget, "…professing to be wise they became fools."

We call ourselves homo sapien sapien – a self-proclaimed title of wisdom.

We are doomed to death as the people were in the days of Noah. This time by fire. Let us be free the bonds of sin. The film Noah taught the opposite of this truth.

I don't know if you're being biased or what, but full of CGI (or good CGI) can't make up for it. Plus they have two of the most awful young actors in the movie Emma Watson and Douglas Booth. I really don't like their version.
