Cinema 2011 #16: Never Let Me Go

Ah, the future. If the cinema is to be believed, it’s not going to be a pretty picture. Fewer hover boards and 70s style unisex jumpsuits, a lot more death by aliens, death by natural apocalypse, death by ill-advised and worryingly self-aware technology not spurned by ctrl + alt + del, death by nuclear holocaust, death by religious fanatics, death by rampaging red-neck cannibals who can’t find a tin opener, death by zombies, but then coming back as zombies and causing more death. All in all, in the future, you’ll be dead. But when it comes to Never Let Me Go, you’ll get to live a little bit longer before you complete that final journey.
