    Default "The Road"

    Anyone else go see this yet ? Very dark heavy movie. I've read the book a few times (hard read first time) and wonder if a viewer hadn't read the book would they be able to follow it. The movie actually did a good job following the book but definetly not for everyone,especially kids.

    I downloaded a sample of the book from Amazon. I found the quote-less style very difficult to follow. The movie does sound interesting, though. I'm sure the wife has it on her NetFlix list.

    I thought the movie looked interesting until I read the book, and then the thought of seeing it onscreen was no longer appetizing. Just so incredibly doom and gloom.

    This is that Viggo Mortenson flick right?
    Is the book of the same title? I thought it looked like another version of The Stand to me. That was just from watching the one preview though.

    Correct:same book/movie but entirely different from The Stand. This is in a post disaster of some sort setting.
