      Gabrielle H Way better than the latest, sci-fi movie-series that have been released lately. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/25/24 Full Review Emilliano Jr S Good cast, bad movie. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/20/23 Full Review Marcela T Péssimo! Previsível! Fraco! Raso! Sem apego pelos personagens, sem um bom roteiro, diálogos ruins e sem empatia! Vilões que não dão medo! Maquiagem ruim! Não tem neve nas roupas, não passa a sensação de urgência ou medo de perder alguém! Um clichê mal feito! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/30/23 Full Review Devan Z Lazy writing. Someone asks "Do ya think that still works?" referring do a giant piece of equipment that has been frozen for decades and plenty have people have walked by. Then someone asks "what is that?" umm. it's obviously a dead frozen body. not much else it could be. lazy writing. How do we make sure the good guy can't help?: cuff him to a medical bed. Never seen that before. why does guy just decide to run off in the complete opposite direction from where is mates are, who have guns? not sure. Lawrence Fishburne is the only saving grace. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/15/23 Full Review Jelisije J A straight forward decent post apocalyptic action film that is really saved by its winter frozen atmosphere. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/21/23 Full Review Audience Member I really like the storyline & the setup but many seem not fans, just freezing budget production on but enjoyable.

      Dennis Harvey Variety A zombie by any other name is still a zombie in this utterly routine horror pic. Sep 23, 2013 Full Review Godfrey Cheshire RogerEbert.com The filmmakers' aversion to any hint of storytelling originality means that the main impression "The Colony" leaves is one of almost stupefying over-familiarity. Rated: 1.5/4 Sep 20, 2013 Full Review Kyle Smith New York Post A screaming, lunging, chomping chase movie that has nothing new to bring to a genre that just won't die. Rated: 1.5/5 Sep 20, 2013 Full Review Alix Turner Ready Steady Cut A post-apocalyptic survival thriller which looks great, but isn't as exciting as it should have been. Rated: 2/5 Feb 3, 2021 Full Review Anton Bitel VODzilla.co ...effectively builds a large-scale dystopia, and uses that as the staging ground for bleak reflections upon humanity's current trajectory. In other words, the familiarity of genre is deployed to expose colder realities beyond its confines. Mar 8, 2020 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com While it certainly never transcends its B movie trappings, a valiant attempt by its two lead performers helps distract from some of the larger faults and obvious use of distracting CGI.
