i liked this movie a lot and my mouth dropped open a couple of times at the "scariness" of this movie and what could possibly happen to the world. I thought some stuff was pretty bad but bearable for me.

What Parents Need to Know
About Blindness
Parents need to know that this bleak drama -- which depicts the total breakdown of society (including filth, squalor, graphic brutality, and sexual coercion) in the wake of a plague that leaves its victims blind -- isn't for kids. Several scenes depict the aftermath of the social collapse, including the absence of law and order, medical treatment, food and shelter, and more. There are also several sex scenes -- some of which are consensual, and some of which aren't -- and a good deal of strong language. Violence includes beatings, shootings, and much more.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the questions the film raises: What would happen if some catastrophic event shattered civilization? Would people come together in a time of crisis or fall apart? Families can also talk about Julianne Moore's character, who becomes a fierce protector to a small group of survivors -- and also grows as a person in her new role. Does crisis bring out the best in some people?

i am 14 and thought it was fine, my parents... probably would think different for me
- I rate this title off for age 15 and give itMy concerns are:
- Inappropriate sexual content
Even though this movie contains several scenes of sex, violence, and language that is very offensive to most people, I think this was a great take on how civilization can become after a disturbingly unexpected event happens.

- Inappropriate sexual content
I have to admit I was pretty shocked with some of the graphic sex in the movie. It wasn't necessarily graphic in the sense that it showed a lot of skin (because although there seemed to be skin showed for any excuse at all, there ultimately wasn't THAT much), but it was just intense and vulgar. Particularly in one scene. Quite disturbing actually. Other than that, I thought the plot was a little less than solid, and the acting was a little silly sometimes I think. Other than that, it was an interesting take on what an apocalyptic event might look like. One thing I did not like at all was the way the army was portrayed in the movie. The army guys were ridiculous, heartless, and horrible. They made fun of the blind people, shot at them, etc. It was pretty aggravating to see that type of portrayal across the board in the movie.
