We all know that the world is going to screw us over one day, the real question is how... Take Shelter plays on the idea that something catastrophic is on the way, but instead of going all Emmerich on us, it focuses on a single family, and how their life begins to change when the father starts having visions of the impending doom. Played convincingly by Micheal Shannon, the Curtis character has nightmares and visions of deadly storms, and although the movie does a good job of making us question his sanity, the character himself chooses to act on his feelings, and spends his time and money building a storm shelter for his family. Although the movie is a little slow, the storm visuals are well done, and the movie does build some suspense as we try to decide if Curtis is crazy. To find out for sure you'll have to watch the movie. Now I'm all excited to see Michael Shannon play General Zod in Man of Steel. It's clear he's a good actor but it will be interesting to see how he handles playing the lead villain in a huge blockbuster. I think it's going to work out very well. Kneel before Zod!
