BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
eileenpa Many people have expressed their opinions regarding the screenplay and director's intent regarding this mystery in Hong Kong. As someone who loves watching international movies to gain insights into other cultures, I was looking forward to watching this movie. I was pleasantly rewarded.I wouldn't say that the movie answers every question, or that the ending ties up everything in a neat bow. However, the acting ensemble is extremely good, and more than one viewpoint can be argued for threads throughout the film. It definitely provides insight into Hong Kong culture post-GB.Highly recommended.
little_wackie This movie is great at first, makes you wonder what will happen to the passengers on the bus, then ends telling you nothing. This was set up to be a great horror movie, but fell flat. 17 people get on a bus, and once the bus leaves a tunnel, they are the only ones left, everyone vanishes. You watch then try to survive their empty world and just when you think you'll get some answers......they roll the credits. This was kind-of a waste of time, could've been a great movie, but it has no ending.
kosmasp The movie itself start off very mysterious and it maintains that mystery all through the end. And while I haven't read or seen the story this is based on, therefor cannot comment on similarities, I can say even from far away, that this movie loves analogies. And it dares its viewers to think and is not just an entertainment piece.While very violent and strangely funny at times, it will be hard to keep track of events if you don't keep up with it. The actors are all amazing and while dialog choices might feel benign and without meaning in general, I'm pretty sure you can get a lot from even the simplest exchange. The Hong Kong allegory and everything that comes with it (uncertainty and more) was not an easy thing to achieve. It's not being seen lightly upon making stories that are political or have a strong message. Which makes this movie even more powerful ... if you are into this thing. Obviously not everyone is, though try not to get personal, if you don't like a movie ... Tastes are different, especially when it comes to something that is artfully done, but maybe not your thing
selenatong73 This movie is incomplete, this story is from a book and the movie just told the half of it. The director added his political view in the movie. In the end, the red rain = Communist China (Hong Kong is Capitalism with free speech, freedom...but after 2047, the "one country ,two systems" will be gone, it's what Hong Kongers worried. Hong Kong is a crowded place with so many tourists from China every day, we are not happy. So, we are happy to see Hong Kong with a few people in the movie as it's impossible to happen in reality. The Hong Kong democracy protest (umbrella revolution) this week reminds me of this movie, the protesters wear mask,plastic wrap,rain coat. The police is the gas mask man, many protesters are from high school and university(this movie is targeted at them). I'm happy that Hong Kongers finally fight for their dream in reality. I hope we will win it!
