Summary: A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind and water. It is cold enough to crack stones, and, when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the warmer south, although they don't know what, if anything, awaits them there.
Country: USA
Directed By: John Hillcoat

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hollywoodized adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's novel (removal of the most disturbing scenes ; use of voice-over narration to explain the setting, music highlighting the mood ; clichés creeping in even small elements). Too many scenes were cut, sometimes for good reasons (i.e. at the beach, for the pacing), but this eventually results in a film which feels incomplete. Many scenes lost their impact, too (i.e. the Coca-Cola scene). The cinematography is good and Viggo Mortensen is excellent, though.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Exceptional. "The Road" is an expertly bleak, grey and touching post-apocalyptic survival story. Mortensen is more than good enough to carry the movie, and Smit-McPhee is a brilliant young actor. There are high quality cameo's from Duvall and Theron too. Hillcoat carves out an almost sickeningly realistic vision of a post-apocalyptic world.
