I had no idea upon watching this movie that I would leave thinking, "Hey, that was my worth my money." But I did.
It begins with a simple family vacation where two children gain objects from a future earth that has been nearly destroyed by pollution not of any chemical or overuse of resources, but of decayed moral minds that has effected the human gene pool.
The story is quite captivating from the beginning to the end. It has everything from drawings of Tibetan artwork hundreads of years old by a child who has never even heard of what they drew, to a massive power outage believed to be a terriorist attack. Although, I will say I saw this as being more of a children's movie from the previews, after seeing this movie with a six year old that brought many moments of "closed eyes" and "a tucked away face" because of somewhat haunting sounds and slightly scary images, I would say the age range should be more adolescent.
This was definatly a memorable film and one I would recommend to anyone with older children or even just those who are young at heart. My only thing is just know that not all younger children may find this entertaining. |
