Dave H Jul 6 This movie had a strong opening sequence and story set up and it was absolutely squandered before half way through. It lost steam and relied on the very tired and over used "crazy backwoods matriarch with mute son" plot device which just ruins the entire movie as contrived nonsense. See more Marco L @decatur555 Jun 4 (CASTELLANO) Empieza bien. Una premisa inteligente, sugerente, que te hace pensar que vas a ver algo distinto. El problema es que esa promesa se va desinflando muy pronto. La película entra en una espiral de lentitud que no remonta. Y cuando parece que va a pasar algo importante, no pasa nada. O tarda tanto en pasar, que ya te da igual. Visualmente tiene momentos bonitos, eso sí. Algunos planos están muy cuidados, hay intención detrás de la cámara. Pero la forma en la que está contada no ayuda: ritmo plano, personajes que apenas se desarrollan, y escenas que parecen alargadas a propósito solo para llegar a los 90 minutos. Se hace muy, muy pesada. Y no una pesadez atmosférica o intencionada, sino de las que agotan. Da rabia porque la idea de fondo tenía potencial, pero no se explota. Lo que podría haber sido una reflexión potente sobre el aislamiento, el miedo o la adaptación se convierte en una sucesión de escenas vacías que no llevan a ningún sitio. Es de esas pelis que empiezas con ganas, pero terminas mirando el reloj. Y no por intriga, precisamente. (ENGLISH) It starts off well. A smart, intriguing premise that makes you think you’re about to watch something different. The problem is, that promise fades fast. The film slips into a slow-motion spiral it never escapes. And when something important finally seems about to happen… it doesn’t. Or it takes so long, you stop caring. Visually, it has some nice moments. A few shots are beautifully composed, and you can feel intention behind the camera. But the way the story unfolds doesn't help: flat pacing, barely developed characters, and scenes that feel stretched just to hit feature length. It becomes heavy—really heavy. And not in an atmospheric way, just in a draining one. It’s frustrating, because the idea had potential. What could’ve been a strong reflection on isolation, fear, or survival turns into a string of empty moments that go nowhere. One of those movies you start excited, and end up checking the clock. And not because you're on the edge of your seat. See more Jeffrey P 11/11/2023 Fans of post-apocalyptic film should enjoy this. Disaster preparedness folks are also likely to get a big thrill out of it. See more morgan l 08/18/2022 Another movie that feels like it's been constructed by an algorithm rather than actually human whose seen survival movies these last 50 years. Just a series of cliches that feel inevitable and tired. If you're really high you might laugh at this films deep irony See more 04/15/2021 Pretty stupid conclusion to the movie.... if they had stayed at home for a few days everything would worked out with the power coming back, dad would still be alive and granddad would of made it to their house eventually. The farmer wouldn't of got killed and the hill billy kid would still be with his dick father. so only the kid benefits really from the entire escapade. Plus the fact she played a VR game for 5 mins right at the start is completely irrelevant to the synopsis or thumbnail for the film as it's not a part of anything later on. Would if made more sense if there was an all out purge which pushed them to leave the morning after a power outage. I mean who has a power cut and after 12 hours runs for the hills (literally) which FYI has no power either when you could hold up for a few days/week and see if the national guard role in to help or the power comes back on, at least you're in familiar space until things do go sideways then you have to leave. Just a completely unnecessary 98 minutes See more 11/24/2020 I am really baffled by the poor and might I say lackadaisical and arrogant reviews of 0 and 43 from critics and viewers. If I'd come here before watching the movie, I would have never watched it. So, I watched it and became invested early on. The scenery, acting, and thrilling adventure across country held my attention long enough. See more Read all reviews
