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

Guardian

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

La Nación (Argentina)

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.

Rated: 3/5

Movie Madness Podcast

The film begins with a silly alarmist set piece and then tries to up the stakes by fast tracking the fall of humanity in survivalist situations until finally arriving at becoming Starship Troopers – with crabs! Silly.

Rated: 1.5/4

Parecía que prometía algo pero resulta ser un bodrio lamentable. Muy mala.

There are bad movies, there are stupid movies, and then there are movies that make you want to find the director and the producers just to slap them in the face. This is one of those. And don’t get me started on the crabs,

I’m giving 1.5 stars only because the beginning 10 min was actually suspenseful. The rest of the movie could have been produced by a 9th grader. There were random moments of sentiment in relation to characters that were hardly developed. The storyline was as dull as an overused pencil. Save yourself the time.

I don't recommend this movie; the story doesn't make sense, and how can a man show up in the middle of the ocean with a dog? Go watch another movie and don't spend your time with it.

By Far the Worst Movie I've Ever Watched! Great idea for a movie done extremely bad. Bad acting and even worse writing and directing. Very Disappointing!
