Between the premise and the lively score, “Survive” is decent enough B-movie background noise that closely mirrors “Dante’s Peak” until something truly remarkable occurs...

3/5

This directorial pep, along with invested performances across the board, allows Survive to build a sense of family vulnerabilities that is rawer than the standard cheap audience-identification tactics usually used in blockbuster disaster movies.

Pick a tone, Survive! Its push-pull between plausible terror and outright silliness is about equal, for better or worse.

Being a low-budget film, Frédéric Jardin...had to resort to his imagination, for lack of resources. And it must be said that he responded well to that requirement. [Full review in Spanish]

Survive is an emotional tale that, through the connections between the members of a family, offers an absorbing vision of the survival genre [Full review in Spanish]

But there’s no accusing Survive of being dry, swinging for the fences in a narrative that plays out somewhere between The Day After Tomorrow and Mad Max.

This is a most excellent, if harrowing, intense, evocative sci-fi family survival tale. The performances are outstanding, though I'm not familiar with any of the actors, and the characters are compelling, too. The vast, stark, never-ending desert cinematography is a complicating backdrop to this harsh, tragic story of geographic holocaust, as is the wildlife turned feral for human flesh. It's a roller coaster ride from beginning to end, so strap in and enjoy the ride!

This movie is absolutely horrible wasted my life watching it everything terrible some killer crabs to her randomly throwing pistol after trying to kill 40 million crabs, for the actors if y'all ever read this, what made you tell director "oh yea this script will definitely get them" this is it. No way y'all not ashamed of this nonse.

Earth’s poles flip… sure, we all saw that coming from the trailer. But apparently, this somehow makes the oceans trade places with the continents. Already ridiculous, but wait… there’s more. Within hours, the oceans completely evaporate, leaving behind dust storms straight out of Mad Max. Half a day later, everyone’s dying of thirst and scavenging for canned beans. Science has officially left the chat.

Beyond terrible. Bad acting. Plotless. People making the most stupid decisions to the point I wanted them all to die. How did this get 74% on rotten tomatoes? I'm a patient guy and I will give a poor film some time, but this was awful. Not even in a fun way. If I could have given it minus 10 I would have done.
