I'll be seeing this movie this weekend. I love the trailers and commercials for this movie - Rhona's butt shot.

On the minus side - not screened for critics.

On the plus side - Its Neil Marshall, who happens to probably be the best of the "new era" horror directors.

Choices, choices.

Seems to be the key selling point at this juncture . Seems she's a possible future Bond girl.

You can never have the $8.00s and 2 hours back. Choose wisely .

Lol go to the movies in the morning, only 5 bucks. As for the movie itself its almost like watching a updated english version of Escape from New York and Mad Maxx. You have Sinclair (lol even had the eye patch ala Snake Plissken) as the bad ass soldier who doesnt give a flying F*** go into a place thats cut off from the world and retrive something of importance. Then of course the gangs that run rampant in a bleak society ala Ma Maxx (lol i swear the car chase scene at the end was ripped directly from Mad Maxx). You got Marshalls signature violent and bloody scenes though and he did a good job of decpicting the burtality of the english government coldheartly quarantining scotland by any means nescessary. I mean i enjoyed the movie, i mean its not a masterpiece nor is it as good as the movies it pulled from but also ive seen much worse. Defineitly not the strongest of his three movies.

I go to the movies whenever I've got time, and that's usually late . Fangoria http://www.fangoria.com/ghastly_review.php, it seems, agrees.

Lol I meant if theres a movie im not sure about I usually watch it in the morning. And yeah...actually any and everyone (every review is gonna say the same thing) will agree with pretty much what I said. Im actually a very big fan of Escape from New York and I had read beforehand that Marshall's inspiration for Sinclair was based off of Snake, but what I didnt know was that Marshall was just gonna make a female verison of Snake Plissken (a badly one at that). And I also didnt know that the plot was pretty much gonna be Escape from X part Three. Lol I mean like I said, just updated versions of those past movies only if they had taken place in England
