I know people didn't like this because it has a different flavor and style to it than the first five, but I liked it a lot. I could hardly get through the first five because of the bad acting and cheesy filming and story.

The actors really felt their characters and I think the cinematography was done with great care and effect for this low budget of a movie, which is a lot better than many fantasies with huge budgets. Of course the only let down is the special effects, but that is understandable with such a small budget.

Some thought this was a slow movie because it didn't have all the actio of the others, but I thought it was very engaging, keeping me interested in what was going on. And even though I figured it out before the reveal, I was not disappointed with the plot.

Although at least having some background from the other 5 movies would help with understanding this movie, I felt it held up to being a stand alone. They explained enough in the script without being expository, weaving it in very well, to be able to watch without getting lost.

It was okay for a very maudlin four seasons, saved only by moments of funny and inciteful writing that kept me giving it a chance. Oh, the drama! It is obvious that this was written by women or gay men or beta males. The men in the show are totally unreal in their communication skills as they must have all read some sort of relationship book.

HOWEVER, there was enough of OTHER that let me tolerate it and watch with my wife. But oh my, season 5 just went off the rails. The fake C-vid narrative with the fake Can't breath narrative truly showed how lefty-moronic the writers are in their lack of original thought or anything that is real in this world.

Don't get me wrong, with the lame scripts the actors are provided, they do a great job, but man, make the men real in what they are supposed to be. I think Miguel is the only one that gets close to that category.

A lot of names and a bunch of nothing. There was no point to this movie other than being brutal and weird. I am a writer and I appreciate good writing, but this wasn't it. Sure, the acting was good, but acting in a pointless movie doesn't add up to much.

I do not know why film studios insist on making such unrewarding, uninspiring, and depressing movies that entertain in no way whatsoever. There are plenty of violently entertaining movies with good acting and writing that serve some sort of purpose- this wasn't one of them.

It is sad that Guy Pearce labels this as one of his favorite movies to have done in his career.
