Redbox review: CARRIERS

Tacoma

Et incurventur ante non

far enough away
For tonight's entertainment I got "Carriers". Has the guy from that last Star Trek movie, one of the chicks from "Coyote Ugly", and a CW show girl.. oh! and the guy from Law and Order: SVU, Stabler.


This movie was unrelentingly BLEAK. Premise is: two brothers and these two chicks are trying to get to the ocean, after some kind of virus has killed nearly everyone. Why? Well, that's not really that important, mmmkay? Anyway, they are driving through the southwest from CO, and along the way it's just hopelessness after devastation, topped with the everpresent threat of infection and death.

I can't recommend this to anyone in good conscience. If you're into bleak, depressing apocalyptic movies, maybe you'll like this. I did not-- I found it without redeeming qualities. As to the merits of the craft, the acting was alright, the filming fine, soundtrack appropriate, but to no end.

15 Tacoma points for professionalism in the creation of this horribly depressing end-of-everything movie.
 
I thought it was the other perspective of I Am Legend. I didn't like the way it was " I love you I love you..... oh, your sick. Get a way from me or I'll shoot you."
 
Thanks Taco.. now I have to see this and The Road I have read the book but not seen the flick (the book goes from depressing to why haven't you killed yourself to wow its improved so much it is as depressing as the start of the book)...
 
I saw this on the shelf a few times and just am not interested. One day I will watch it....its like a movie to watch when you have watched the rest of em.

I would love to rent TOTAL RECALL and enjoy that awesomeness again. I haven't seen that movie in so long, used to be a favorite!
