Console best movie i've ever seen.

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

nicolagent Take John Wyndham's 'The Day of the Triffids' and 'The Midwich Cuckoos' and cross it with George A. Romero's 'Day of the Dead' and you end up with 'The Girl with All the Gifts'. Sounds fun right??? However this film takes itself way to seriously, to take any levity from people turning into mushrooms or tribes of feral, grunting 'Beyond the Thunderdome' 10 y'o's... running a mock in central London. The cinematography is flat, cheep and uninteresting, the music annoying and Paddy Considine is (as always) underused.With a better Director and Writer you could take M R Carey's Novel and turn it into something really interesting, fun and poignant. Sadly this falls way short.

jmvscotland The above title is just one line from the script of this incredibly dumb and unbelievable hash of a movie.A rating of 6.7 on IMDb implies that a movie might be watchable and that one's enjoyment or otherwise will probably just come down to a matter of personal taste. I had no taste at all for this one. Nothing about it was convincing, plausible, or even very interesting or engaging. The script was woefully bad.It started interestingly enough and was slightly intriguing for about the first 15-20 minutes. But then, oh dear oh dear oh dear!!! Just plain stupid with cliche after cliche. It kind of reminded me of, but wasn't quite as stupid I have to say, as that crap from South Africa a couple of years ago "Chappie" which I also panned here because it was even worse than this similar pile.I disliked just about everything about "The Girl Who Had All The Gifts". And, by the way, who exactly was that girl who had all the gifts. It can't have been Melanie who was a hungry and who had just appalling table manners. She didn't display any particular gifts, apart from an ability to catch pigeons and cats for a light snack and to communicate with other hungry style youngsters with growls and snorts. And that ending with the young hungries taking school lessons from Miss Justineau while she was safely cocooned in a mobile laboratory. I had to laugh out loud at that point. It was the perfect ending to an utterly forgettable movie. God, how I wish I hadn't wasted 110 minutes and 70 baht on this pile of merde. Don't waste ytour time and money

Zen Andrew Archer First half of the movie is an effective setup for an interesting look at a zombie apocalypse. But sadly the writing quickly descends into stereotypical dumb horror movie tropes. Then it turns into an episode of the "The Tribe". I never knew it was possible for an actor to "grunt" unconvincingly, but that is on display here. A lot. Some great people in the cast (Close, Arterton and the mighty Considine) but sadly let down by a bad script. The last scene made me laugh out loud it was so cheesy.

charlesgates-49153 Other than Train to Busan and the early season of The Walking Dead, I'm not a fan of the mindless monsters. However, with stellar casting, detail-oriented world building, and grounded, believable characters, The Girl with All the Gifts breathes new life into the "undead."McCarthy's Girl with All the Gifts is more than a coming to age story about responsibility and adulthood. It portrays the dangers of conformity. The authority figures are scientists, teachers, and officers. They are forcing the children to learn what they teach. They are discovering a cure so that mankind can remain as is. And the movie begs us to answer the question, what does it mean to be human? To read my full review, go to alexcgates.com
