Yes, its a great movie. However, universal infertility is a truly implausible plot device for such a serious movie. Especially since reproductive technology has been advancing so rapidly.

The cinematography is really amazing as well. CoM is especially notable for its use of very long takes, which give it a hyper-realistic feel.

I saw CoM as basically politically neutral, although perhaps with pro-natalist bias. Essentially, the movie depicts all the political groups as shades of evil. There are Islamists, the hippie/pro-immigrant Fishes, the semi-fascist government, etc. All of them are depicted as willing to kill innocents to meet their goals. Ultimately, only the “Human Project”, of neutral scientists are good guys, and they are scarcely present in the film.

What’s not libertarian about a small group of people fighting against a dystopian police state? Collectivist good guys? It is a work of fiction, folks – a story. It is not designed to promote libertarian politics. If it was, it would probably suck. Especially if you are an anarchist.

This movie is pretty good as far as movies go. It’s at least better than 90% of the crap released these days. It does portray a very realistic picture of what it looks like when a state conducts urban warfare against its subjects. That alone is worth watching a free download.

@negator: Why they throw eggs? If one looks for a “perfect” match with whatever one’s current opinions might be, one will find very few pieces of art satisfying.

Hey George, I think it’s worth a look, dl or rent. Little that comes out of movie production rates as “perfect,” and there will always be differing opinions anyway.

I liked it so did Wally Conger. I just invited Wally to the social net.

Collectivist good guys, fascist bad guys, science evil. Sorry didn’t see it the way you did.

i thought it was okay, the ending i really thought was disappointing. it really could have been better. in fact, come to think of it, the only reason i would say its okay is that a lot of the scenes remind me of something you’d see in half life 2.
