Serenity777 User ID: 1129812 United States 08/31/2012 01:29 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Just saw the movie myself... It was the most boring piece of garbage on this planet. However, they DO make the point of showing a rogue, red...NOT BLUE planet coming in and wrecking everything. If I remember correctly, she specifically asks kieffer sutherland about the "red" planet, and he's not able to reply due to his wife cutting him off when he claims that he's not an "expert." -There is BLUE LIGHTING in the end of the movie though when the planet comes in.- Last Edited by Serenity777 on 08/31/2012 01:32 AM watching the "run up" to the elections and the "hopes and dreams" that are built as a result is like watching a dead mouse that is still able to make his exercise wheel go around because his nerves are still twitching that familiar motion... |

Was looking forward to watching when it came out, and was not disappointed. I'm going to watch it again tomorrow, just because. 5 stars all the way! *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* I can't force people to accept the truth, but I can expose them to it. |

So Not a Princess User ID: 1452738 United States 08/31/2012 01:45 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I saw most of this less than a month ago, and I think I am just too old for artsy Swedish movies, if you know what I mean. If I remember it was a Danish/Swedish production, and while I initially liked the weird feel and atmosphere, I just got too bored to go on. I fast forwarded through a lot of it, but I got the part about the rogue planet ruining everything. My first thought of course was GLP and Niburu or Wormwood, but I know it was all a symbol in the movie for an existential limit point. Still it was good to see a movie maker have the guts to incorporate something like this into an attempted thoughtful film. I like how physics was ignored, for the existential effect. Wish I could say more. I just erased it from my computer yesterday, so I can't take another look easily. How can something be neat and boring at the same time? Edited to add: If you want to see a really fine Danish movie, try "Inheritance." Be sure you get the Danish one and not the Argentine "Inheritance." (Although it is good, too, but in an entirely diff way.) Last Edited by So Not a Princess on 08/31/2012 01:48 AM "This has all happened before and it will all happen again." **sigh** |

Be sure you get the Danish one and not the Argentine "Inheritance." (Although it is good, too, but in an entirely diff way.) Yeah I agree that the artsy stuff thrown in is pretty "artsy." Even the main plot you know it's just a metaphor for the situational depression the main character is suffering. I just found it interesting that a lot of it seemed to have been taken from GLP and other conspiracy sites, especially when it comes to the Nibiru theory, etc Some examples - Planet was hiding behind the sun - Planet was blocking stars (that doctor a while back claiming this) - Planet is on a strange orbit that brings it passed earth, then back again to it's ultimate collision - Weird sounds in the sky (recent, not really taken, but interesting) |

I loved it though and thought it was a very thoughtful, beautifully shot movie. You do have to stick with it though, the strength of the movie is in the small details, it's certainly not a film you can skip through and expect to get anything from it. If you haven't seen it, I'd also recommend the movie 'Another Earth'. Again it's a slow burning thought provoker but another beautifully shot 'doomsday' movie.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 24511931 United States 10/05/2012 08:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The movie was way deeper than most people can see. Every character in the movie was aware of the "conspiracy" of a rogue planet hitting the earth. The movie was about how each and evry one of the dealt with the information. Some believed it, others denied it, some were Ok with it, others freaked out and went nuts. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 22116104 United States 10/05/2012 08:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Interesting to note that the tv series, The Event, was also based on a rogue incoming planet. Fringe deals with the merging of two Earths but from different dimensions. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24381831 I wonder if our conspiracy theories gave rise to these shows/movies or if actual events are what gave rise to our conspiracy theories. Hope it's the latter, how exciting would that be! |
