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...

Rated: 3/4

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.

Rated: 3/5

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.

Well I thought in real life they would not made it. Like the father trusting that guy. And after the down after being shot with gun that was time to slice his throat because he'd would come after them which he did. And then wasting all the ammo on those crabs. Oh yeah can't forget those running into the trailer with the hole big enough for the crabs.

What on earth did I just watch? I honestly have no idea how others are rating this movie any good.. am I taking crazy pills? The script is an absolute disaster - I cannot believe someone wrote this and thought "yeah, I really have something here". Nothing makes sense at all.. why is the bottom of the ocean a desert? Why aren't there millions of dead aquatic life all over the ground? Why is a plane on the ocean floor covered in seaweed, then when they pry the door open birds come flying out? Every character makes the dumbest possible decisions at all times and there is zero character growth.. I found myself wanting them to lose. Don't get me started on the random bad guy and completely unnecessary gutting of a dog.. This movie should be played in film schools to illustrate how exactly you should NOT make any form of media. Random bonus for the movie inexplicably switching from french to English, then back to french for no known reason.. My lord this movie is terrible.

The film is stupid and cloying, with no sensible moment. It's also bad for being a bad movie.
