Beautiful cinematography, good acting from the pincipals.
I hated the first hour, because the plot was so beyond implausible that I thought the entire movie was rendered stupid. And I don't mean the plausibility of the existence of a disease that causes blindness. That's the most believable element of the movie. The government response is straight out of the dystopian high school poetry of a goth kid. The epidemic drifted up and down in scale like robots in a cheap Japanese cartoon. One moment it's shutting the whole city down and the next it's 80 people in a cafeteria.
But once you recognize what sort of parable it is and give up on the situation actually making sense, it becomes worth a rental
