I'll overlook a few inconsistencies this time. After all it's a fantasy-sci-fi metaphor about society, I never felt like I needed actual science consistency here. The acting was on spot, special mention for Tilda Swinton, absolutely great.
What I cannot absolve is the fascinating and involving Orwellian story of a revolution turned into a silly horror B movie in the second half.
Was there a real need for another immortal baddie, a stabbed hand and a limb being sacrificed?
No.
Why spoiling such a simple and yet effective story-line on the altar of crap movies?
Why giving so much in exchange for so little?
I don't get it, without the silly horror elements this Orwellian story would probably be worth an 8 or a 9. Unluckily it really gets annoyingly stupid in those parts that were probably punched in with the illusion of winking at the younger audience. Folks, kids are bombarded with horror flicks, zombies, MTV and dough of any kind, not to mention Youtube. They have seen it all, you don't need 2nd hand sterile horror elements to impress them, you need good ideas.
An elderly, ironclad, immortal fatso going around killing everybody including his own minions really is something they should have evicted from the script. Not new, not impressive on any level. Plain stupid.
9 to the first half, very good Evans, Bell and Hurt, outstanding Swinton, awesome drive. 3 to the second, no need to clone from low rated B movies which felt old already in the 80's.
