Maybe the trailer was for the DVD. I’m confused, frquently.
November 28, 2006 at 12:13 pm #34350Beer_MonsterParticipantuploaded this onto my PSP as my choice for friday’s in-flight movie, seeing as the movies usAIR give you are utter,utter shite eg. the devil wears prada, mission impossible3, inside man.
i still have 500Mb left on it if anyone has any suggestions for another.
November 28, 2006 at 12:43 pm #34351XDCNeonSamuraiParticipantInsane tells me that “Chad’s Prison Beefcake Adventure” starring Bryon Rod and Tony Rears is a must see movie. Not sure what it’s about though.

December 18, 2006 at 8:24 pm #34353XDCsPUNKerParticipantJust saw this movie this weekend and have to say its probably the best film this year. If anything this should get an Oscar for the extremely well choreographed scenes. It’s gritty and,as Neon said, makes you feel like you are part of it.
Top filmJanuary 20, 2007 at 6:09 pm #34354xdc magickerParticipantJust downloaded this and on the back of the XDC boys recommendation invited a couple of friends around to watch it…
well it started off ok-ish, petered off in the middle and the less said about the end the better…
have to say i was rather disappointed – what a crap shit story – there was some really good bits in the middle but the start and end let the whole thing down – especially the end.
the sound was great (5 grand of speakers wipe the floor of any shitty cinema) the base was supperb with room shattering booms at the least expected moments.
the action scenes were good but so what – the story was piss poor and let the whole thing down.
cant say that the scenes of future britain were all that different to what we have now 🙂

January 23, 2007 at 9:44 am #34355LammieParticipantWatch this the other night and all I can say is what a load of utter wank.
Oh and as others have said ending is farsical.1/10
January 23, 2007 at 12:54 pm #34356xdc magickerParticipanti have been thinking about the action scenes in the middle with the 10 minute single take shots – there was one point where the camera gets blood spattered on the lens… if there was anything else they could have done to rip you out of the film back to your living room than i cant think what it would have been other than text on the screen saying – YOU ARE WATCHING A FILM
January 27, 2007 at 12:56 am #34357TurksMeisterParticipantWell… I thought it was fucking awesome.
I agree with Neos 8.5/10… there wasn’t enough boobage… and the only poon had a baby coming out of it!!
January 27, 2007 at 1:34 am #34358AnonymousParticipanthmm finally started watching it and fell asleep – was bored until I did though.
Oh well =/
February 11, 2007 at 10:19 pm #34359stellasParticipantLooks great… film not so! I dont know what all the fuss was about. Too many unanswered questions, i dont need everything spelled out for me but come on … give us a clue! Ending was waste of time too..
Like i said the LOOK of the film is good but disappointed all in all.. 😥

February 19, 2007 at 6:17 pm #34360XDCMorganParticipantWatched it, liked it…….. right up untill the script and story writers ran out of time and gave us that really, really bad ending. What was that all about? I wanted to see what happened after but nooooooooooooooooo………. all it does is leave you with the underlying feeling that youve been robbed of a satisfying finale……………. ho-hum…..
7.5/10
July 23, 2007 at 8:40 am #34361sickofitallParticipantFirst things first, science fiction has to at least be semi-believable. I reckon that to do this all people have to do is make sure that the characters in a science fiction film react in a believable way to the stuff around ’em.
Children of Men. Clearly not thought through. Think of that time you were sat on the train and that annoying little f***er of a baby just wouldn’t stop bawling. Think of all them times those little scrotes ran around in their tracksuits shouting and screaming up the street and you just wanted to throttle all of them. Remember all those times in town when stupid bitches use their prams as battering rams to get everyone off the pavement, stop traffic and generally act like her cretinous rug rat should be treat like royalty just because she shot it out of her stamped bat a few months ago. Yeah love, you’ve got a butchers dustbin like a welly bob top cos of that little shit – but I’m sorry – the world don’t owe you for it.
Now imagine a world where none of this could ever happen cos no-one could have kids. See! It would be absolutely ace! In Children of Men they make out everyone is dead upset about it!? Bollocks, I’d be dancing to work everyday, laughing my cock off during all my waking hours and then sniggering myself to sleep.
I’d also make sure I was in the army. Then we could have had a decent ending. King Arthur takes mother and child down stairs, past lots of shocked and awestruck soldiers, he gets out of the door and leads her awa-DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA

Anyway, cheer up – there’s still plenty of them bloody politically correct numpties to get, everyone’s a winner!”
Roll credits 10/10.
Instead it gets a 5 because they shot a hippy. Hurrah!*
*(No offense to any hippies, obviously).
July 23, 2007 at 8:42 am #34362XDCMADMAXParticipantSame here, watched it over the weekend, what were they thinking to end a film like that, spoilt it for me!!
July 23, 2007 at 8:47 am #34363RyzoParticipantI checked it out over the weekend too, nice little watch
