Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

Console best movie i've ever seen.

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

mako-35220 A lot of build up for a pointless, unimaginative ending that resolves nothing! I've been a writer for over 40 years and I get what they were trying to accomplish. THEY MISSED HORRIBLY!!!

regexfan The dogs were interesting, too bad the writers were getting more and more lazy as the season progressed. If they weren't going to give the viewers any backstory, the why's, the who's, the how's, and all that, at least show us more of the dogs' intelligence, a deeper look into the AI algorithm programmed into the dogs (I thought this show is about THAT - technology!). I loved how the protagonist counted from 99 to 1 and threw candy at the dog in order to trick the dog's AI algorithm. It would be great if the episode focused a little bit more on stuff like this. You see, for every great software program out there, there will be bugs, logic errors, weaknesses. Imagine an episode about human intelligence vs artificial intelligence coded by humans. Some people could pretend like this episode is about "humans emotions" or "imaginations" or "cinematography artsy". The truth is the writers didn't actually give the viewers much to chew on, they just put together a generic post apocalypse plot with robot dogs in place of zombies. And they made the episode into black and white so that some art people could feel special and think they "get it".

lol234 Brooker is a media satirist, so I want to give him the benefit of the doubt about this episode. My 6 rating is because even as dry satire, it's underwhelming.The premise is: mechanical dogs have decimated life in Scotland and presumably the world. The episode is essentially a prolonged chase. Instead of zombies in 28 Days Later, we've got robot dogs.There aren't many beats. Maxine Peake runs, trembles, inhales, sobs, etc. Ms Peake isn't given a lot to work with, yet does an admirable job. If she appears to over-act: what else is she supposed to do?So why is it possible parody? The first clue is it's in black & white. It looks a lot like Besson's wonderful The Last Battle. I'm tempted to believe that Brooker is giving a nudge to Besson to ask how he went from crafting quiet, beautiful films to his current excessive style. My second clue is the final shot. With the overwrought music, saccharine morality and the God-like perspective ... well, I hope Brooker understands what that means to the viewer.As a sincere story, it's silly. As a parody, it's not skewering much. This one's a swing and a miss. But I'm optimistic that Brooker has many more interesting stories to tell.

Brighton Dude I see quite a difference of opinion in the reviews so far for this episode. I'm in the camp that it is an extremely good episode indeed. Very little exposition is required because it is obvious, roughly, what has happened to create this dystopian world. It is something that is talked about and discussed by academics and Sci Fi enthusiasts today, something we all fear.In this episode the cold calculation of the enemy is terrific and the humanity of the main character is superbly portrayed by Maxine Peakes.Some are saying that the mission the group embarked upon was silly but this film is about the end-days. Everyone knows they are finished and they want to strike out with some form of humanity before its over.
