I think the vérité works in this one - it gives the film the sense of urgency that would be otherwise filled with the frenetic quality usually associated with a movie that has global cataclysm as its subject. The isolation of the estate works well as a contrast.
Shot scenes are fleeting, ephemeral, playing into the film's central theme.
I liked this one - how about you guys..?

and I don't believe the majority of the general movie-goers will "enjoy" this one. 2 things that prevented me personally from enjoying it were lack of any likable character and the snail pace.
Strangely, it seemed to be available on iTunes for rental even before it hit the theaters in the U.S., and that's how I saw it - via iTunes rental.
I agree that the director had a great way of maintaining the underlying tension and low-level sense of dread. I also thought it was a brilliant stroke to isolate the environment to a rich family's estate, thereby avoiding the hackneyed scenes of people panicking in the streets or the president deciding to send nuclear missiles or other such clichés.
Very powerful overall - I kept thinking about it for days afterward. At the same time, I must say that my wife was not as impressed, considering the film merely "interesting" rather than compelling.
Haven't seen it but Melancholia looks like the opposite of stupid fare
like 2012.I'll defnitely see it.
The Aussie film The Quiet Earth is worth looking for...about an energy
experiment gone frightenigly wrong.
