ThiefHott Too much of everything
Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
qmtv You want to see a candy movie? Then go see Star Wars VII, Force Awakens (or a clone), or Thor, or Avengers, or any other unrealistic piece of garbage that is spoon-fed to the masses.If you want to see a movie about an apocalypse, that is being experienced by a few isolated people who are confused and unaware of what the hell is going on, then this is the movie for you. What we have here is a movie with great characters. A brother and sister Nick Holt as Jake, and Debbi Pick as Sarah who run an isolated cabin for adventurers or scientists. These are the best actors here. Not great, but realistic. Very important, REALISTIC! Jake and Sarah's guest are scientists Paul Bentzen as Stan (Beardman), Karl Wallace as Eric, and Robert Arkens as Andy (Richboy). Stan is the most joker and the actor is garbage. Wallace is also garbage. Arkens is better and had a few decent scenes. I liked his death scene on the airplane. So, acting department, no awards, and maybe no career. But, as far as what is required, they all provide the realistic aspect. Isolated, confused atmosphere.Cinematography was very good. The editing was good but could have cut back on some extra footage. The music was great. The main theme song was very eerie. The snowride theme was a copy from a spaghetti western, which was weird but fine. Mostly synth music. The fxs are garbage, red lights, smoke bombs, and cheap ufo ships. I liked the superimposed fx.So, this is a story about the apocalypse. But not about all over the world. Just what happens to a few people. We are show what is happening in other areas but we are never given a definite explanation about the apocalypse. The five people dwindle, fist Andy Richboy dies steeling the airplane. Great stuff. Then Jake is taken out after the snowride. Eric freezes in the snow and is taken out. The last two survivors are separated. The best part of the movie is when Sarah is seen by the train tracks, eerie music playing, she sees something and is overjoyed, we see her running, happy music, long shot we see man from the back as Sarah runs towards him, it's Stan the jokeman. They are so happy to see each other, maybe love. They walk past a desolate, cold snowy town, up on a hill they transform into a young boy and girl in loincloths, and walk through the grass and flowers, the survivors, the new Adam and Eve.Now this ending is completely out of outer space, or inner earth. But it works.I've read all the user reviews. Most hate this movie. Too bad for them. Some like it, and see the problems with it. I've seen it twice now. First in 2016, Rating B-. I've also read the critic reviews and they also see the problem with it, but most love it. 1000 Misspent Hours and Counting (Scott Ashlin) Bleeding Skull (Dan Budnik) Ha ha, it's Burl! (Burl Cummings) The Eclectic Screening Room (Greg Woods) Rating is a B, for a B movie, or 7 stars. 10 is given as balance, for losers who give this a 1 or 2 or anything below a 5. I suggest those viewers go watch Star Wars VII and get excited by the assembly line film making from those big budget films.
Chase_Witherspoon Talky, ponderous sci-fi is about twenty-minutes overspent in my opinion, and while it does a fair job in painting the isolation of a remote band of people discovering the human race may have become extinct in the wake of an alien invasion, it does little to fulfil the promise when action is needed.Director Rebane has a solid concept, and his cast of amateurs do a creditable job (notably Bentzen and Holt) with a heavy emphasis on dialogue and building a sense of intrigue out of a flickering red light and interference on a ham radio. The landscape is attractive and while there are a couple of moments where the pace gets above ambling, it's an effort to reach the climax (which while unexpected, doesn't redeem the previous 95 minutes of hard-talking labour).One of those films that promises much in its narrative build-up, dangling the juicy plot carrots, displaying an attractive ambition that is ultimately never realised; and when you discover that it was never on the negative and certainly never on the page, you become (understandably) quite aggrieved that you invested almost two hours of your precious life for such a blatant ruse. I wanted "They" to live up to its potential, and disappointingly, though it's picturesque and moody, it doesn't come to fruition.
leonardfranks I have seen a lot of bad movies in my life, ranging from "Glen or Glenda", to "Manos, the Hands of Fate", to "Wild Women of Wongo", but I have never encountered a movie that horrible. That is, and until someone makes a movie consisting entirely of scraping chalk on a fingernail, my least favorite movie ever. Why, you ask? Prepare to know. Mainly, it's because the people who made this film have no sense of pacing. For each important scene that actually advances the plot, there are two scenes that are completely random, freakishly annoying, and utterly irrelevant to anything. Many of these scenes focus on character development of characters who then proceed to do nothing with their newfound character traits, but others include boring walking and snowmobiling and random cuts to other people doing other things that relate at best tangentially to our friends back at the cabin. Add to this the acting, the budget, and the general plotting, and you've got yourself a physically painful little piece of cinema. Incidentally, what the deuce was up with the ending? Everyone disappears except for two people who turn into half naked children in a random meadow in soft focus? That's right down there with "Monster a Go-Go". Don't watch this.
Hitchcoc How can one write a script and produce a movie without one entertaining moment. Film is supposed to be visual in nature and this has people sitting around talking the whole time. And it's no "My Dinner with Andre." Something is killing the people of earth. It's spreading. Some people, trapped in some pretty cold environs (Canada?) are left to try to figure it out. That's all they ever do. Try to figure it out. They have no plan. They have no vitality. The aliens never confront them, to speak of, and so we don't even know what's going on. The outdoorsy scientist has a theory, but it could just be a bunch of hooey. The conclusion is about as stupid as anything I've seen in years. How could someone get the money to put together such a snoozer. If you can't compete with the big boys, at least tell a decent story. As with so many of these, there are long treks through the snow and a snowmobile trip that goes for about ten minutes with nothing happening.
