Thoughts on a Movie No. 11

The Road
(BIG TIME SPOILER AT THE END OF PARAGRAPH!)
Viggo Mortensen, Charlize Theron, Bobby Duvall, Guy Pierce and a little kid star in this feel good, post-apocalyptic story of survival. The sky is gray, there is no life and much of the life that remains consists of murderous groups of cannibals. It's never really explained as to what caused this impending global extinction, but I'm guessing it was probably one of those Cloverfield monsters from a couple of years ago. I bet that's it this is Cloverfield 2: The Aftermath, we can all agree on that right? Okay so, we follow a father and son making there way through this desolate, abandoned world scavenging for food and supplies. Occasionally the father (Viggo) will flash back in time to pre-apocalyptic times, this creates a nice contrast from the gray world to a world vivid color. I'm sure you'll be shocked to hear that you do get to see Viggo's bare ass in this one. I'm starting to think it's in his contract that he show us his butt at least once in each movie. Viggo and the little kid are both really good in this movie though, the visuals are great too. Viggo dies, books are for stooges! suck it y'all!

Let's say 4.06 out of 5
