I’m not sure how I caught the trailer for this movie, but I remember that it made me curious. I checked to see if it was playing on demand and I saw that it was on sale for a low price so I thought I’d give it a shot. I’m very glad I did. ItI’m not sure how I caught the trailer for this movie, but I remember that it made me curious. I checked to see if it was playing on demand and I saw that it was on sale for a low price so I thought I’d give it a shot. I’m very glad I did. It was absolutely engrossing in its plot and utterly stunning in its visuals. While the story is very familiar, it was beautifully set amongst the post-apocalyptic fallout of a total global catastrophe and is told in an unbelievably fresh and comprehensive way. There’s almost a “Water World” vibe here, but it’s paced better with relatively little dialog. You can see where the story is driving to for the most part, but that destination was compelling and a thrilling pleasure to watch unfold. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve read or discussed aspects about a film’s cinematography, but ultimately I could only really tell you wether it was good or not. There were several instances while watching this that I legitimately couldn’t tell how they got a shot. Because of that I will likely be viewing this again soon. The acting and actors are just outstanding and it felt like they were really a part of the world being shown. Along with this, the score too was very well done and not intrusively weighing any of the scenes down. While at times it can be a bit of a downer, if you are at all a Sci-Fi fan you should definitely check this out.… Expand

On a vu ainsi la jolie Nora dans ‘Army of the Dead’ et elle n’y faisait certainement pas la potiche de service ! cependant, si elle se montre toujous volontaire ici, elle ne peut pas grand-chose pour sortir ce nanar tout foireux de son marasme : on dirait ici (vaguement) un sous-Waterworld soldé dans une sorte de marais plein de brouillard avec un vieux pétrolier rouillé…

Mais avec toujours plein de brume et d’humidité pour masquer le tout petit budget ainsi que la nullité du scénar (de nanar) qui se répand en bavardages ineptes afin de meubler ce qui peut l’être : bref, de quoi mettre Conforma en faillite ! car en effet, il ne se passe rien là-dedans, rien du tout ! ce n’est qu’une sorte de petite fable moralisatrice écolo, geignarde et minable.… Expand

An interesting post-apocolyptic, dystopian sci-fi movie. Very European(Swiss). Kinda dark, no big budget CGI. But an interesting story. Worth watching if you like sci-fi. If you need ILM-level CGI to enjoy a story, look elsewhere.
