    Well, I recently watch this and ... I'm glad I did!

    It's true that the meat of the story lies in the interaction between the characters,
    sometimes, it's also about what's not said rather than what is too.

    The guys don't conform to the usual 'good/bad' character profiles and neither do some
    of the situations they find themselves in or the decisions that they make.
    ... a bold move from the producers, that worked for me ... I found it refreshing
    to see something other than a standard 'sausage-machine' type angle on the ZA.

    Also true that this is not a usual ZA Action type flick either. The claustrophobic
    conditions of the car together with the implied imminent danger from all the
    Z howling outside was intense - a great scene

    Seems it's one of those Marmite type films - you either love it or hate it.
    I'd give it a solid thumbs up personally.

    PS ... it took ages to get that darn tune out of my head too!!

    ^^ Yes! Classic scene!
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    It's even funnier in context. I almost hate it that anyone sees that scene if they're going to watch the movie...sort of spoils the surprise.
