The Road received some very good ratings in the 'ScifiNow' magazine. It appears for good reason. It seems that the images used were very precise and catch the viewers eye in a good way. In the middle of the article the words 'The film inspires you to feel that at the end there is a glimmer of hope' which to attract the viewer toward the article is very influential.
The pictures inserted appear to be very grim, but for an apparent reason, due to the nature of the film. The largest photo is of the man and what appears to be his son and very close to each other to show a mutual connection. Another, but on a much smaller scale, is of a truck and what seems to be a small army, makes the viewer feel quite intimidated, and feel fear for the father and son as in another photo they are lying down, the father is armed and makes you feel that there is going to be conflict. This is a good use of variety to show different aspects of the film without actually revealing too much.
The font used is very bold and out there, it is in black but catches the viewers eye none the less. The language used is not for the 'Metro' readers but more of 'The Guardian'. For instance, 'The relationship between the two forms the heart of the story, with occasional flashbacks to happier times providing occasional respite from the grim realities they now face, but the film is far from just a character piece.
All in all this film article is money well spent on every word printed. The terminology used was very intuitive and the fact that it was related with the pictures, proved clear talent acquired by the writers of the magazine.
