I got shock of my life seeing this movie. Knowing the story of Peter Pan and having seen all of the earlier movies about him, I set out to watch it expecting new adventures of a12-14 year old innocent naughty brave daring kid. But here it was - an all out portrayal of torture, bodily hurts and pains, blood, murder and death.

I could not see it for more than a few minutes.

This is a bad concept by director, scriptwriter, production house. Were they falling short of zombies and Elm Streets, so they thoughtlessly violated the pious pure children-kingdom? Will the same director, scriptwriter, production house will soon come up with a horor stories wehere Jesus, Mandela, Gandhi, Matin Luthor King are the main villains?

The production house has put a question mark on the combined intergrity of world film makets and there is no forum or agency where I could raise my concerns. I am basically against censorship and advoate self-discipline by film makers, but that is what has been shredded to pieces.

It is shameful to even think about it. Such stupid takes should have been banned all over the world.

I started seeing it, got bored within half an hour of first episode, left it, it kept lying in my disk for 6 months.

Then yesterday I started seeing it again and by the time I finished viewing 2nd episode, I was hooked. And then finished the rest in two days, and cannot wait for second seacon to appear.

So, if you excuse its slow start and get past, it becoming gripping by third episode. I am sure you will see the last 4 episodes in a single sitting, come what may - come high water or hell.

It is different, it is unpredictable, not following the typical theme of other alien or zombie or sci fi anything. It is unique. Seeing all these actors and actresses for the first time, so there is no previous history to bias me for or against them.

That slow start might have killed its reach. They should have shown Nora's "insect planet dream" and then her kidnapping and her mating call scream and its effect within 10 minutes of first episode, then the viewers would have got sold to it and it would have been much more popular.

Though there are not typical twists and ups and downs as in other serials, but you will feel a connection, a bonding with all major players. Commissioner shooting the Captain and committing suicide was the most stupid development in the entire show.

Oh Second Season, come fast. Don't torture like this.

I landed on this movie searching for "apocalyptic" movies that is my favourite theme and downloaded it, but then I read about it in wiki and knew about how everybody declared it a bad movie. I was on the verge of deleting it without seeing it, but then I thought to have a peek to justify some use of the wasted bandwidth.

And I was hooked to it. I couldn't make myself close it, I saw it through in one sitting, of course with tea-coffee breaks. And this has landed quite high in the list of my most favourite movies. I came to imdb, gave it a rating of 8, Saw it further, and then I came back to imdb again and raised the rating to a perfect 10. There would be not many movies that I would have rated at par with it.

So, Ignore the critics who gave it a bad rating. They were so lame that they couldn't recognize a true flaw-less diamond and threw it thinking of it as a cheap piece of glass.

Do see it. Do show it especially to your kids. That is the best education and guidance that you can provide to them. This movie should be be shown in all schools and colleges throughout the world to give a purpose to lost youth of the time.

It is a cult movie. What a message. What a presentation. What a step-by-step guide to building a state and a nation.

This movie is about HOPE, HOPE and HOPE. It is not justa the mails that the postman delivered, it was HOPE that he delivered, as simply as "a candy from his pocket" (a dialogue from the movie), in the darkest of the times, when it was needed the most and that turned the things right side up. In this era of confused people everywhere, this movie elaborates how one individual can make the difference between life and doom. When Bethlehem and his goons killed the teenage postmen and women, your heart cries for them and you would do anything to prevent them from meeting that fate. When some postmen retaliated and killed Bethlehem's people, that showed what violence begets and highlighted why non-violence is the only way.

While most of the other "apocalyptic" movies show the last remaining humans scheme against one another and end up kill one another, thereby ending human species, even the Earth, even the only known life form, this movie shows an Icarus rising from its on ashes. It is not just a "Restored" America, it is actually a "Resurrected" America.

Thank you Kevin Cosnter for the idea and portrayal. One part of your greatness lies in the fact that you portrayed your own role in movie in a quite lazy, confused, lost way, and portrayed Ford Lincoln Mercury as having done the actual work of nation building. A teenager youth could do it all, of course you kindled the spark in him. This didn't steal the limelight from him as any lesser actor or director would have been tempted to keep the focus on himself.

Such a movie brings love and respect to the entire community of movie makers. Forget Bad Critics. This is a cult movie. Don't miss it.
