This was definitely an excellent movie. It's a shame that it had bad reviews from critics. Others have covered the reasons you should watch it. Definitely not for children or the faint of heart, however it's not the worst either. It very aptly describes the coming state of modern society, and that's why they didn't like it. After all art imitates life and vice versa. Anymore watching the news has gotten just as terrifying. This movie has a strong message behind it and was well thought out all the while keeping it within the confines of it's theme. Give it a watch you probably won't regret it.
