Jay H Aug 4 An Excellent Movie in that era, and its effective realism of an outcome that can be reality. The acting, cinematography and story was ahead of its time, back in the 80's where post apocalyptic movies wasn't strong with its materials. This stands out See more Jammus 02/15/2024 Excellent movie with fantastic acting, featuring dark and realistic scenes of chaos and death. This obscure gem is definitely worth watching. See more 09/30/2020 Flawed and some stiff acting, but overall ambitious and compelling... See more 02/28/2014 Adult Sci-fi with aging allstars that will make you think. See more 01/24/2014 Sometimes overwrought but mostly heartbreaking. Yeah. I'm man enough to admit I wept at like three different points in this movie. I defy anyone to watch the 5 year old Toby Anderson trying-to-work-the-radio sequence and then tell me they didn't well up. The US version sucks by ending the movie with everyone (left) and everything blowing up, so do yourself a favor and track down the Japanese cut. At least it ends with a glimmer of hope (though the trek south sequence could've stood some trimming) See more 12/07/2012 A biological weapon released in a plane crash spells the end for Earth's population except those stationed in the Antarctic leaving the eight females left with several dating options. Loaded cast. Film was better early with the release of the virus and tailed off in the second half. See more Read all reviews
