I have it from NetFlix sitting on my coffee table right now. I've seen about 1/2 of it so far (hard to get TV time right now), and hope to finish it this weekend. Talk about a dark movie. Some parts are the typical post-apocalypse genre, some parts really make you think.
I think there is a thread or two on it in the SHTF forum, and maybe in the Break Room.

It definitely looked abit typical. But I think Viggo could pull off the part.
From what I saw it brings up alot of interesting points.

I'm thinking of grabbing it tonight to watch. Looks good 
My 13 year old daughter loved it......
It opened eyes to many people who watched it, she even talked a few friends of hers to see it.
One parent asked me about planning for a disaster.
It probably depends on the age and maturity level. I cannot imagine attempting to explain to my 6 year old or 3 year old nephews, the scene where the father is teaching his son how to commit suicide, or the scene where he prepares to kill his own son to save him the horror of cannibalism. I think my brother goes a little overboard in censoring his son's media, but there are some subjects that are probably better left for when they're older.
I really liked it. The morailty play of keeping your humanity while staring in the face of death is one of the things that drew me in. The other was the dilema of whether to go on living or commit suicide in a world where there is absolutely no hope.
I think, of all the apocalyptic movies I've watched, that this is the most realistic. I would think, under the circumstances given in the film, that humanity would quickly stoop to that level. How could you not think so when two women will nearly fight to the death over the last Tickle Me Elmo (or whatever stupid toy is the newest fad) at X-mas time? Also, after the storms we had about a month ago, you could see how quickly people turn on eachother and strt placing blame when the creature comforts disappear...even if it's only for a few days.

I haven't read it. I'm contemplating putting it on the list, but I read so slow that just means I might read it by 2015.

Terribly depressing. Definitely sets a tone for how bad things could become and makes you wonder if efforts to survive would even be worth it.

Brothers, survivalism by ourselve is almost meaningless.
But we must remember, that survival is also about family. It is doom and gloom to consider the future, but being prepared to but as ruthless to save your family is a concept many of us have forgotten due to our modernization.
It's movies like this that should help one determine if they have the ability to be the type of person it takes to survive when both the four legged and two legged wolves are at our door, wanting our families.
I dont know about you guys, but my family will never experience the brutality the world has to offer while Im breathing.
EDIT:
AND SISTERS 'n stuff
I dont like to discrimminate against my sisters

I would suggest reading the book before watching the movie because as usual, the book is "better".
I haven't read any other books that have painted such vivid images. You can literally not go 2 pages without reading about darkness or death or pain. Its not a happy book, but its a book that makes you feel.
The movie is pretty good, too.
