I liked it a lot mainly because it was violent and depressing as fuck and the depiction of anarchy and social decay was great. Some things did rub me the wrong way though, like some of the final scenes with the baby that were too cheesy, actually the whole ending was bleh. Also athough the depiction of a fascist UK was pretty cool some of the insertion of current events into the movie seemed really forced (like some rally at the refugee camp that looked like Hamas). I actually wonder what this movie would be like without the sci-fi element or if they had taken the sci-fi element to the extreme (like mother nature taking revenge on us and there is no hope/baby).

I dunno I don't see it as prophetic as some people do, nor did I care about the serious topics as adressed in the film (immigration, pollution, totalitarianism) as it seems that the conections to current events were forced to make it look prophetic/scare us. But the depiction of anarchy and the end of civilization is the best I've ever seen on film.

Michael Cane did look like John Lennon, but I can't say I cared about his glorified hippie character much :P
