completely agree, the dystopian breakdown isnt given enough time to soak. It immediately reminds me of Lord Of the Flies which had both purpose and function built into the breakdown. For this one, literally power goes off in the first couple minutes cut to people killing each other for an hour and a half. /fin

I had to stay because I was with someone who was desperate to get his money's worth. Needless to say - he never did. I inwardly checked out after the first penthouse scene and the introduction of Royal - the architect. Poor Jeremy Irons - if only he had known

I saw it in a theater with only 2 other people. When the movie ended, I realized they had walked out on it, leaving only me.
I liked the film. It definitely loses it's way in the last half hour, but I still admire it quite a bit. -

I work for a cinema that is currently screening this film. I haven't noticed a single walk-out. In fact, it's been selling very well due to word-of-mouth and the audiences seem very excited as they leave. I enjoyed the film very much, but I did expect more walk-outs.

I went to a Curzon in the UK. There were about 15 other people in there. No one walked out.
I think that it is a film that divides people. Okay, I think that perhaps it does hit people over the head a bit too much with the message that it's trying to say. -

about 10 minutes into the film there is a party scene where the orthodontist baldly states "i am not a homosexual" at the beginning of his conversation with hiddleston. it was at that point i knew this film was going to a piece of you-know-what. for satire to work, the plot and script has to have enough semblance of reality to trigger some recognition in you. no sign of that here, and the "satire" is as subtle as a brick through the window. 40 minutes in and i made the decision to let this play in the background on my tv while i surf the net. what a terrible waste of time this film is.
