The Road

Pre-review tweet: Watching The Road. I get the metaphor, but JESUS THIS KID IS A PUSSY. Man up, boy it's the end of the god-damned world.

Got it all (by which I meant I understood the metaphors at play). Did not enjoy the kid. Viggo was amazing. Destroyed beauty on display. Guess I need to read the book. 3.5 stars.

Follow-up: The visuals are simply incredible. And this post apocalypse is not the usual "just after the event" version we usually see, or the cartoonish quality of say, Mad Max. This is what the world would be if it ended due to some unknown global cataclysmic event.
