I am fascinated by post-apocalyptic cinema and I would recommend The Road as the quintessential movie of the genre. It does its best to present a realistic and frighteningly plausible world with the characters behaving in a believable (and crucially flawed) manner. There are perhaps more interesting movies in the genre, but few are as smoothly presented and relatively flawless as this.

Incredibly faithful. Effectively a visual novel, though if your movie is merely a translation, instead of an adaptation, why are you making it? Oh, and the movie itself is superb.

Very beautiful and very sad! Loneliness and impotence are terrible things. The unknown is terrifying.

First off even though I wasn't a huge fan of the book, I still liked it more then the movie. I should have known better though about what to expect. Not usually a huge fan of these depressing films, so I of course didn't really like it. Some of the shots of the dark and desolate scenery were cool, but by the end I just wanted it over. I wouldn't say that the movie itself was subpar, but just too depressing for my taste. It was nice to see that Omar is still getting work though.

Pretty dark and emotional piece of well known global disaster subject matter. If it comes to a role play it's average but in positive meaning. Most effects of destroyed lands are on pretty high level and all of them are good enough to create needed atmosphere. Definitely not a movie for relaxing evening or evening for 'just two of us' unless You like to depress Yourself and get into melancholic, dull mood. Decent movie anyway.

A very faithful visualization of one of my favorite books, and in that way its refusal to provide an original perspective is slightly disappointing. Still, it's well acted and shot.

Depressing and bleak story with a twist of 'really?' in the end.

An adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's bleak post-apocalyptic novel, The Road follows the struggles of a man and his child's struggle for survival.

A post-apocalypse world has seldom looked this real on film. As gloomy and grim as they come.

Its one of the best, if not the best, book to film adaptations I have ever seen. It captures McCarthy's writing about as good as any film can.

A very solid, well-acted adaptation of the novel. Some of the boy's dialogue didn't translate too well. The innocence of the boy's words in the novel seemed more Home-Alone-y when said out loud. SO MUCH SEPIA. I had actually imagined the scenery to be much more grey than brown but whatever.

somehow a bit disappointing. The book was captivating, this adaptation is well made but lacks the gravitas of the book.

Turunun sevenleri icin iyi fakat yavas temposuyla can sikabilir. Cok ust duzey bir yapim degil ve vakit gecirmek icin izlenmeli.

Bleak, yet moving. Acting, directing, and style are all way up to par. With that said, the movie lacks any replay value, for me, which hinders its score to a degree.

one of the most depressing movies I have ever seen in my life.

Absolutely beautiful, elegiac meditation on parenthood. There's little substance to the plotting (as it should be; inexorable decay is anything but exciting), but every one of the actors locked into their performances to make it all work; the leads are perfect. The world built here is sparse, thoroughly hostile, with the only missteps being a single shot that shows too much, and an overuse of sentiment in flashbacks and score. Would I have understood it before my daughter was born? Probably not.

not bad but it took longer than it should.

The future revealed.
