Blindness Movie Reviews, Pictures - Rotten Tomatoes

Saw it last night and it's kinda long and kinda slow but overall I'd put it in the "good" category. For the first hour and a half the scale of the film is smaller than the movie appears from the previews as it deals almost entirely with the ever more crowded quarantined people in an encampment but for the last half hour the scope changes to the entire city which is nice.

For being kinda long and kinda slow it doesn't pull any punches and is surprisingly violent and uncomfortable in parts. The very slow beginning needs editing and some more information as to what is happening elsewhere at the end (and a stronger ending) would have been nice.

I've heard this film is a lot like the book it's based on: you either love it or hate it.

I really want to see this movie, WTB more reviews from FOH posters

I think I'm going to try and catch this in the next week or so.

As Shoolee mentioned, just by watching the trailer it looks like it could be really good or really bad.

I finally got a chance to see this and I agree that the pace is really slow, but I liked it and I usually have a lot of issues with long and sluggish films.

Juliane Moore is brilliant as usual. I will never understand how Hillary Swank has two Oscars to Moore's zero ><

Trailer looked way to reminiscent of The Forgotten which is without question one of the worst films ever made.
