Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

The movie is preset in a apocalyptic environment 2 convicts, that run explore and retreave missions to reduce theyr sentences, crash in a desert wich after making contact with theyr home base hear theyr sentences will be prolonger unless they complete theyr mission.
They find the coordinates, after being suddenly attacked by survivors while they take a few minutes rest.
After opening a manhole they go down into the tunnels of a old deserted former militairy installation.
They appear to be alone down there, but suddenly they see items and hear sounds wich could mean presence presence of human life.
The question is are they alone ....The movie is clearly low budget.
I have to say of a lot of the apacolypse movies ive seen higher and lower budget, this is 1 of the best made.
With a low amount of actors and a low number of special effects, they managed to keep the tension up to the end.
I hope we will see more of the producers, because some of the movies that are hollywood supported realy do not even come close to the quality of this movie.

This mega-low-budget science fiction thriller delivers on many levels, but causes yawns on a few others. But let's not start this blurb with bitchiness - first, a plot recap. A space shuttle thing crashes in the desert stranding the two man crew, who are both convicts. Quite why criminals are being trusted as test pilots is never explained, I assume because they are expected to crash and burn. Literally. After a bit of running and gunning with post-apocalyptic desert scavenger types (and some truly impressive visual background effects), they enter a labyrinthine series of tunnels to complete a secret mission which will earn them a reduction of their sentences. The film is basically a two hander for the first three quarters of hour, with Ike Aaron Stielstra and Brendan Guy Murphy carrying the show on their own. Great work by both, though it was strange to see Stielstra playing a "normal guy" rather than his usual gurning, gibbering retard. Took me a while to acclimatise. Unfortunately, once the two enter the underground tunnel system after a promising first ten minutes, things bog down with a buttload of talk, complaining and interpersonal waffle. Like Thomas Magnum lost at sea, the film treads water for far too long and this viewer started getting a bit fidgety. The welcome arrival of the babelicious Kimberly Parmon and a truly horrifying villain kickstarts things again, and things get scary and messy leading to a rousing but slightly predictable ending. Though the film, upon geeky analysis, is a mishmash of bits and pieces from a few other sci-fi and horror classics, there is enough originality and effort involved to make this a commendable feature. Special credit to the costume department for a fine line in utilitarian futurism. Well worth watching, and not just for fans of dissonant film scores created on a melted Korg keyboard.

This movie is unique to say the least.Effects may not compare to a big budget horror film,yet it still invokes interest, and keeps you guessing till the end.The ending I admit, is terrible. Disappointing and not inventive yes the rest of the movie makes up for it. I feel it needs an alternative ending at the least. This film has good background effects but is slightly painful for the eye's yet this scene lasts only a few minutes. Some things were not completely done. More post production was required. The little things were overlooked.Overall 8/10

The film started not bad but turned into a complete nonsense quickly and finished with some idiotism. I don't mind the low budget, but the whole story line is plain awful and nothing compensates for its total ugliness, though acting and costumes are quite good. Even the initial scenes of the earth devastated terribly by some kind of a cataclysm bring rather a disappointment. There are too many scenes shot with no apparent purpose and too many events left unexplained.In general, it's just another amateur work which you could watch for free to kill some time and forget about it after all. If these boys and girls ever decide to produce another sci-fi film like this one, they should find a much better writer and place their characters in the clearest light.
