A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

This is Phillip Kim's very first screenplay. If there is any justice in the world it will be his last.I wasted 101 minutes on this turkey. Don't make the same mistake.Two-dollar budget, one-dollar characters, confused, contradictory and abysmal script and a director who couldn't direct traffic on a Sunday morning. Not an original idea in it. Either the investors didn't read the script, or they *read* the script and figured it was a great tax write-off.The movie has two, flawed, premises: The world will soon run out of oil--which proves typist Phillip Kim, (can't truthfully call him a writer), spends too much time reading comic books instead of scientific journals--and that a world-wide cancer wiped out the female population, (Frank Herbert did that far, far better in "The White Plague"). The fact that there are a number of females in the film--most of whom say and do nothing and don't really need to be there--shows that the typist couldn't stay on track with his own inept plot.Skip Downstream--better yet, *toss* it downstream--and watch the better post-apocalyptic movies this disgrace has ripped off: A Boy and his Dog. Logan's Run. Mad Max. The Postman. Even Waterworld is a far better film.Did I mention this movie is bad?

this film was great, the editing was original it kicked ass.... but then it slowed down to a screeching stop! It was like the writers ran out of ideas. so they decided to kill off all the characters and have a terrible CG shot at the end. The film was a good film if you stop watching at the end of the second act, anything passed that just seems like a waste of time. why kill the dog? Did Sarah die from period pain? and then the main character makes it to his destination, only to be picked off by the worst cg bot thing I've ever seen, but still it had great potential! But at the 100min mark it was too long and lost its charm.

The movie takes place roughly ten years in the future, after the world has collapsed due to suddenly running out of oil. The premise is interesting and the story kinda hooks you up in the beginning, making you want to see where it goes.Unfortunately, the production quality as well as the story declines quickly and by the ending credits you will only be disappointed. I made the mistake of watching the movie all the way, all the time waiting for that big twist to make it worth watching. Also, do not expect to see any cool sci-fi tech or you'll be disappointed even more.The movie is rather brutal and this certainly will upset some viewers, even though I found myself wondering why they didn't do it all the way instead of making it dull like they did. This could have saved it in the lack of an actual story.

I think the movie was trying to tell us something about not wasting energy and conserving a bit more, that's fine. But to do it in this setting, I sorry but it's been done a million times. If you want to make a fictional sorry that conveys a message, use something "in your face" fictional (go see district 9), don't use pseudo-science. I could go on a big rant about what was wrong with the science of the movie, but I don't think this site is the correct forum for that. In the end, if they would have used some out-of-this-world reason to explain what happens, the movie would have been better. Should you see it, sure, just don't read too much into it. The movie isn't deep and it's not a prophecy of what is to come, although I'm sure there are people out there that will say it is.
