Breathe is a heart pounding thriller set in the future. After Earth is left uninhabitable due to lack of oxygen, a mother Maya (Jennifer Hudson) and her daughter Zora (Quvenzhané Wallis) are forced to live underground, with short trips to the surface only made possible by a coveted state of the art oxygen suit made by Maya's husband, Darius, whom she presumes to be dead. When a mysterious couple arrives claiming to know Darius and his fate, Maya tentatively agrees to let them into their bunker but these visitors are not who they claim to be ensuing in mother and daughter fighting for survival.

[A] solidly acted but underwhelming post-apocalyptic thriller.

Rated: 2/5

The movie feels pared down to a fault, resolving its conflicts too quickly and failing to ever take the shape of a coherent allegory. It’s proof that shorter isn’t always better, even in the realm of self-contained genre fare.

Rated: 5/10

Inner East Review

It's a pity the screenplay by Doug Simon doesn't quite get the tone right, spending a lot of time establishing the supportive family environment when we can all see what's coming a mile off.

Rated: 2/5

But while the movie's concept is solid and the cinematography is rich, something is off.

…Breathe’s intense sci-fi stand-off shows Milla Jovovich’s considerable acting chops to good effect…

Rated: 3/5

Bristol sets up a fascinating thought experiment, puts all the pieces in place, then gets lost trying to find the way out.

The movie is excellent! A hidden gem by Jennifer Hudson. However it would have been nice to see a fight between Milla Jovovich and Sam Worthington. The family dynamic made the film heartfelt and emotional which most Science Fiction movies lack. It’s worth the watch!

I'm sorry for the low review. I wanted to love this movie, but it was doing too much in such a short period of time. The people survived 3 years just to turn everything into a massive cluster ufck. Too many cliches and played out character roles.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Not good. Plot holes and characters doing stupid things. Shaky science. Unbearable computerized alarm voice announcing impending doom over and over with no build up or forewarning, just straight to maximum alert every time. Underwhelming character portrayals to be honest.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars
