The Cell (2000)
9/10
Visually, one of the most beautiful films ever made!!!
9 June 2009
When its time to evacuate the Earth ("insert disaster of your choice here") the human race will be divided into two distinct groups...those who loved this film and those who "just didn't get it"!!! I am a photographer and I every time I watch this masterpiece, I am in awe! I have, devoured a fair few flicks in my time and I am yet to see anything as...simply beautiful as this film (before you die, you owe it to yourself to watch this in hi-def)! They say that "your only as good as your last work", well excuse me...f**k that! Mr Singh, if you never craft another series images, it does not matter! This is one of the best! Congrats to Newline for believing! Watch and let your darkest nightmares become reality...

Chronicles of Riddicks meets The Dirty Dozen meets Gears of War!!!

Yep its derivative, full of clichés, underdeveloped characters, but its still great fun and full of B movie goodness. Visually stunning and imaginative production design and great special effects combine to create what will no doubt become a minor cult classic over time.

I thought I was watching a video game after 5 Min's, partly due to the filming process (100% digital) and the colours (or lack there of). The blood is almost scarlet which give it an almost erotic feel.

Tension is used effectively and the film moves quickly enough, Thomas Jane is still good to watch (cant forget his performance in The Mist). Also Sean Pertwee puts in a solid performance as well. There is plenty of action, some great fight scenes, and some creepy moments - but that's your lot! Keep your expectations low and you'll enjoy it for what its! The whole retro mix of world war I and future technology is truly worth watching alone, and cant wait to see this in HD.
