The cinematic version of "Fallout".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ok, not as clear as Fallout, but close enough: Instead of nuclear blast, the
|
|
|
|
|
world is destroyed by some ice age due climate change and groups of people now
|
|
|
|
|
live inside bunkers. Thing is, the bunkers can talk to each other, but they are
|
|
|
|
|
running low on supplies -- meds and food -- so anyone sick is "removed".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now, that the kind of scifi I do like, even with the low budget and just a few
|
|
|
|
|
scenes from the big names (Lawrence Fishburne and Bill Paxton) and not-no-great
|
|
|
|
|
acting from the new comers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sure, the "threat" is never truly explained -- or, even being in my ballpark,
|
|
|
|
|
never caught my attention -- and never solved -- that part I'm sure -- but
|
|
|
|
|
still, it is another movie exploring the way people act upon survival
|
|
|
|
|
situations.
