My Review-

This was a different take on the sci-fi genre in my opinion, in a way it did not feel like one, but the storyline at the same it made it one, if you know what I mean or I'm trying to say. With having said that this is a depressing movie, right from when we find out these people exist until the very end of it. I liked how it did not feel like a sci-fi and how I think it was an alternate universe for all the people, since not all of them were made to be that way. I also believe that is was a slow a film on purpose, because if it was at a fast paced it would not have been as meaningful as it was or made an impact, now I have never read the book by Kazuo Ishiguro, even though I have read from numerous places that it is a really great book that I now would like to read sometime in the near future. The acting was really great in the movie especially from Mulligan and Garfield, I can see him winning a Oscar with in the next couple years if he keeps doing great movies like this one, aside from The Amazing Spider-Man which was a really good film too he just needs to pick more movies where he can really show his acting chops. I think the scene that was really heartbreaking and I do not want to spoil anything, but it involves a scene with Garfield and Mulligan towards the end of the film and it such an intense scene between those two, and I think this movie went unnoticed which kind of sucks. This a movie that should not be missed by from any lover of sci-fi films or if you just like movies with type of premise. So go and watch it next time you have the time or are looking for something to watch.
