I saw it in theaters, and I can say the same for the ending, overall I liked the movie a lot.

Man that ending f@cking SUCKED. It's like they ran out of money and just stopped the movie. You don't find out if she gets on the tomorrow. You don't know if the guys on the boat are project human. You don't know if they are good guys or bad. You don't know if key stays alive or if they use the kid for something else. You don't find out WHY she wasn't infertile. You don't find out if the research on key or the kid can alleviate the infertility of the rest of the populace. You don't see if dude survives. It just f@cking ends... So aggravating.

you "get the idea" that the guys on the boat were project human/tomorrow, being their boat was named "Tomorrow".

but yes, very aggravating. such a great movie, imo "thrown away" by the last 3 minutes.

Saw it in the theater twice & bought the DVD.
Lots of holes in the story, but a cool movie.
Check out how long some of the scenes are. One camera, one take. Some of the battle scenes and the ambush scene in the woods.

the scene were he's followed around the battle for a few minutes without a cut, definitely made me feel "video game". really was the best part of the movie, felt like u were right there as a documentary was being shot.

I loved the one shot for the battles, they made you feel a part of the action, instead of just an onlooker.
