    There's really no reason to identify any people of a region by their color for most purposes. Like, if we're talking about Indonesia or Thailand for instance, why on earth would you refer to them as "brown locals"? It's just....wrong.

    But that's her, and a lot of other detractors' point isn't it? That the movie only focuses on the problems of the white survivors, and the people who actually live there are rarely seen.

    I saw this a few days ago and actually had to leave the theater for a while because I couldn't deal with it. That could be more about me being a wuss than the movie though.

    Watts was fine, but she mostly cried and screamed and did a good job of looking like death. The oldest kid is the only one that really deserves recognition for acting.
