I never heard about this movie before. Now I know it's a post-apocalyptic movie (love those) made by Sam Esmail (he did Mr. Robot, which was terrific). I guess it also happened to be produced by the Obamas.
So congratulations, reviewers. You got me interested in seeing a movie I didn't even know existed.
i don't like that a former president is producing a postapoc movie with the way the world is going right now. does he know something we don't.
Yes. He knows how to make money as a movie producer. Presumably, you don't.
it's a joke lighten up
I saw it, didn't know who produced or directed it
Don't watch it, It had potential, I loved the main actors, but it sucked badly. Fair warning: possible spoilers below.
The music score is way too loud, and annoyingly weird. For example, rap music in a supposed suspense thriller movie at points that made no sense, then some romantic "there's about to be sweet sex" music while somebody walks through a house, exploring it. It was annoying when I watched it, we then had it on as background noise to hide sex sounds and had to turn it off because it was so damned annoying.
The story literally goes nowhere, yet is all over the place. The ending leaves loads of opened threads unfinished, and it's quite obvious that the writer(s) heard "cool" things yet failed to grasp the basics.
The microwave emitters they were talking about have ranges up to hundreds of meters, not the hundreds of square kilometers required to reach them in the middle of nowhere.
The airplane crashing was supposed to be cool but one had already crashed many hours before, why was this one still in the air? Also, you can't really "hack" airplanes to go down, pilots can easily take over.
The Tesla's famously can't drive themselves like they do in the movie
The kid would get acute radiation sickness from those microwave attacks? Oh come on. And then the rest of them are unaffected, somehow? And then they go get medicine? What medicine? The kid as shown is dying an agonizing death within two weeks, you can get him painkillers, perhaps.
What the fuck was up with the deer? What was that supposed to do? You could cut all the scenes and nothing would change.
What's up with the girls addiction to friends? It literally ends the movie somewhere in the middle or something because so many questions are left, so many threads opened that aren't brought to a satisfying conclusion.
The writers had a cool idea yet had no idea what to do with it. 1.5 stars out of 5, it was a waste of my time
<3
I actually liked it. it's a really cool / scary atmosphere. I was surprised by how much i liked it as it's been ages since i even dared to watch a Netflix-produced movie.
Anything post apocalypse is on my list. Idk what it is, I just love the setting.
I usually enjoy them. I've been watching them since all the way back to my childhood in the 80s when I spent my life terrified of nuclear war and yet still fascinated by the post-apocalyptic.
