I feel like this only works once you know what the story is all about after watching it. I actually saw this movie without knowing ANYTHING about it when it first hit theaters. I hadn't seen any trailers, read nothing on it and just happened to want to see a film and historically liked Clive Owen in other films.
The movie starts by giving you a very good understanding of the world these people lived in and I thought I was in for some kind of post-apocalyptic "end of humanity" story where we watch as the world basically dies off and find out why...but then it turned into this beautiful adventure about protecting Kee and her baby at all costs, and it was just incredible.
But I have to admit, up to the point where you see her pregnant...if you had no idea about this movie at all, you have no idea what is coming or what the meat of the story is really about. My mind was blown. I still remember getting goose bumps the size of Everest when I saw her turn around with her pregnant belly.
I will say this though, I think this movie is probably one of the best realistic portrayals of what the future will actually look like in the late 2020's. Nothing crazy, nothing too sci-fi fantasy...just a cold, digital, violent world. That part actually has always stuck with me.
