A delight to watch, the film separates itself from the rest through its immersion of atmosphere, introspective narrative and exploration of societal underpinnings. I would recommend this film if you find yourself contemplating the future of society and often wonder about the profound effects modern civilization has on our world.… Expand

I liked it. It's not a masterpiece, but I can say I haven't lost 90 minutes of my life. I do not think it's for everyone (I looked to see what the world was saying and many said it was boring) but I like slow movies (some).

This premise is infinitely complex, a lot of amazing writers and directors presented their work on it and the majority failed miserably, what we should take from that is the fact this wasn't trying to be epic, not even close, it was a simple, and as crazy at it sounds very enjoyable.… Expand

I thought this was going to be a waste of time but I found it surprisingly good. That may be because I've seen quite a few 2+ hours movies lately that quite frankly bored me, some to pieces.

That may be because I've seen quite a few 2+ hours movies lately that quite frankly bored me, some to pieces. This one however actually had an interesting premise, even if the science was a bit dodgy. Well acted budget movie. I've seen far worse. Finally something to make the green again, a surprising one at that.… Expand

This human-centered drama has the hallmark of great sci-fi: it is patiently paced to allow us to consider the possibilities it offers.

ItsThis human-centered drama has the hallmark of great sci-fi: it is patiently paced to allow us to consider the possibilities it offers. In this case, it contemplates environmental catastrophe through the experiences of just two characters. Its composite form has no CGI moments of improbable spaceship maneuvers and explosions; instead, the focus is on how humans might respond to environmental cataclysm, and how humans and natural systems might change in unexpected ways.

This movie does not shout its message; its subtle script requires you to ponder the central allegory it poses, like many good short stories. If you have the patience to follow the details, it's a compelling proposition for how humans might respond to a changed earth.… Expand
