What makes this story so good is that it's as real as it can be. There are no special effects, no heroes, no computer generated fight scenes. It's just a film about a man and his son, against what's left of the world and anyone else that has survived in it. It's not a pretty film; it's not a romantic film, but still it's hauntingly touching and realistic.
The film is dark, and at times, there are a few scenes in the film that are disturbing and hard to stomach. Overall, the movie did leave a lasting impression on me. How could it not? In the midst of a disaster, what's the scariest thing in the world one could be faced with? For me, the answer to this question would be trying to save your child's life, and trying to survive and hold onto your own life for the sake of saving that child's life.
You want action and animated special effects? Don't see this film. If you are looking for something a little more realistic, a little more human (cause let's face it, in real life people die, people don't conveniently find guns laying around when they need it and we all don't posses the ability to flip up in the air and bounce off walls, if we're faced with a life or death situation) then, hey this film could be for you.
Here's a fair warning for those who have children or that are surrounded by children in their lives, this film may depress you and may even make you cry. It may even give you insight on the lives of homeless people, but that's just my opinion.Get more detail about The Road [Blu-ray].
