The Human Race
One moment some 80 people are walking on a big city street. Suddenly a blinding light appears that transports them to a very peculiar racing course. A voice sounds in everybody’s head : “The school, the house and the prison are safe. Follow the arrows or you will die. Stay on the path or you will die. If you’re doubled twice, you will die. Do not touch the grass or you will die. Race or die.” Whether you’re rich or poor, old or young, blind, strong, handicapped, courageous or a coward; the rules make no distinction. There can be only one winner !

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
The Human Race is the most predictable steaming pile of garbage since the Fantastic Four remake. right off the bat it becomes obvious who lives and who doesn't. the plot is as interesting as a 16 hour algebra lecture and the acting makes it seem like every single person is an extra who's never heard of a camera in their lives. the worst part is this movie thinks its a good movie. the creators basically microwaved a 30 day old banana peel, threw it at a wall and called it abstract art. its not a parody. its not satire. this movie honest to god thinks its CGI worse than Disney Channel 1-hour specials and actors who practically need to be holding a script to check every 3rd words is enjoyable entertainment. the directors forced Scanners, Maze Runner, Hunger Games, and Btoom! to have an cross-breed with a group of racially diverse yet still completely oblivious to the meaning of "entertainment" bland D-list actors just to give birth to this movie. id rather play ET for the Atari for 24 hours then watch an 8-minute compilation of all the cringe worthy deaths in this movie. its a book-to-movie adaptation as well, from a book that got even less attention than the movie. however, i do need to give this movie props for wiggling its way into existence. it takes a lot of perseverance and determination to sneak this atrocious deformed beast into existence. so kudos to you, writers, that earns you a starOverall Rating: 1/10. burn it in the pits of Mt. Doom.
Spoiler Alert!!! Spoiler Alert!!!I gave it a seven; honestly people on IMDb have become so cynical lately. True, some movies deserve their ire, but when it is obvious that someone is doing their best with what they have and Still managing to do a good job...?I loved the smooth editing on the action shots and running scenes and I thought that the death scenes were awesome especially the baby! And I think that people just snatched up like this would probably act a lot like these did, especially the dark turn that it all began to take, when some tried to take advantage of the situation.Even the rather open ended way that the film finished was totally believable for the situation..We need more non cookie-cutter movies like these, Hollywood needs to stop regurgitating plots from the past and look for directors with fresh takes on scenarios, like this one...In the past the only way that I could see a movie with some real imagination was with the odd Indie movie or...the Japanese! Japan is famous for making the weirdest, most entertaining movies ("Ichi the Killer", "Three...Extremes", "Suicide Club", "Dumplings", etc.).In closing, see the movie..then make up your own mind...
When I read the summary of the film, I seriously thought it was going to be a nice, cool and interesting movie. Boy, was I wrong. The effects are cheesy, the dialog is stupid, and the acting is terrible. To top it all off, the ending is preposterous and leaves the viewer without an explication as to what it was that you were watching. After watching everyone die the only sad thing is I won't be able to get the time I spent watching this movie back. Trust me when I say that there are a million movies better to watch than this piece of crap, hopefully the people who made this film will never trick me into watching one of their movies ever again. PLEASE DON'T WATCH!
DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE INTERESTING SOUNDING STORYLINE AND THE OKAY COVER.This movie is the worst excuse for a movie I have ever seen. I don't know how it was released (let alone in movie stores) and I'm not even sure how it has gotten a rating of above 2 on IMDb.The acting is horrendous, most elements of the movie are completely unrealistic and the final scene just makes the entire thing ever more confusing and far-fetched. There is no background, no attempt to help you build a connection to the characters and quite simply boasts awful acting, terrible filming and confusion. By the time the credits come, you're just left thinking "what did I even just watch?"Don't even bother, this movie isn't worth your time.1/10
