Breathe

Seemed promising but quickly makes no sense at all.... The character zora seems litteraly stupid, smart enough tobuild machines, incapable to understand that survival comes by being careful. Incredible that living in a post apocalyptic world some one would keep a spoilt brat attitude.

The grandfather takes pointless risks to get a book, and the father takes pointless risks to burry his family member so far away.... Seems like Darwin awards, what did they learn over the past 4 years of survival...

Protect their loved ones stay alive, be suspicious, when you are the only ones to have infinte oxygen... They learnt nothing, aside from the mother who had common sense.

The enemy characters made no sense.

1st star is for Common... I don't know what it is, but there is an Aura around this man. I enjoy his presence and he gave A LOT to the story, with a ridiculously short screen time screen. He is a GREAT actor, who, in this movie, deserved a lot more relevance and presence.

2nd star is for the story. Well thought.

3rd star, for the scenery... yes, it's CGI, amd yes, it's fake, but GREAT set!

I can compare this one to the Sci-Fi movie of Will Smith and his son... the kid is an idiot! Too much part for him, too little part for his father.

It's the same here... bratty kid who messes all up just to make a stand with the stupid cliche that parents are wrong and kids know it all!

Sam Worthington is another very good actor who plays a GREAT part in the movie... his talent fits the character like a glove! Avatar is a stain in his career, because he is much more than that simpleton, blue people blob.

All in all, this movie would, could and should, have been a lot better with more Common, more action (they had plenty of room to work it in there), less drama, and the totally expandable and annoying kid.

The ending turns out to be as predictable as the movie itself. It entertains, but it's a deception all throughout...

Well, I'm still stunned after watching Breathe - this is a masterpiece of boredom and a fine example of what is wrong with movie making these days on a grand scale: a script that is not developed but more or less a fragment, "hero" characters that are most annoying, a production that is somewhat okay but can't save the day, and dialogues right out of cloneland. I've watched tons of post-apocalyptic movies with a far lower budget, but they are entertaining masterpieces compared to this one. First of all, don't bore us to status brain dead while watching the most boring characters doing, well, nothing, and talking, well, about nothing. I really don't know, the idea is not that bad but the whole rest is. This one makes some cheesy post-apocalyptic movies of the 80s look like a drama of Shakespeare himself... Only recommended if you want, for whatever reason, to torture yourself, then this one will do.

I had seen the score and I figured this would be an awful movie, but I gave it a shot.

25% of this movie is the alert system going off and borrowing into your skull. They really didn't need to have the alert system go off non stop throughout the movie, but that's what they did.

I mainly watched this cuz of Milla Jovovich, thought it can't be that bad if she's in it, but it was that bad...

I wish I had a Flashlight and some Copper Wires, cuz then I could have made a "Electromagnetic Pulse" generator and used it and saved myself from this abomination basically.

I won't even rate this... It's just bad.

Seen this movie today, without prior knowledge on what it was about or how it was rated.

Milla Jovovich & Sam Worthington being familiar names that I enjoyed the movies of, raised my expectation of this being an quality movie.

The concept sounded interesting on the condition of the earth with city views and landscape shown.

The air we breathe is of an delicate percentage balance after all.

However it immediately got clear to me that the characters don't take their survival seriously. Not even able to communicate properly, considering the deadly environment they're supposed to be living in.

Their dialogues and actions were of absolute stupidity.

When life is at stake, safety is an priority and there's an immediate state of seriousness, and this movie showed a total lack of that with the main characters.

Talking the most nonsensical of topics, and behaving in an carefree way, living luxuriously as if in an penthouse style, doing spa's & beauty treatments, heavy make up and nails done in every scene, wining & dining wasting food, all with laughter & smiles.

It couldn't be more unfitting to the concept of survival situation and post-apocalypse concept of living underground in an bunker as written in description here on IMDB.

Milla & Sam's acting performance seemed on point and class as usual for quality actors.

But their characters actions and the lines they were given... They were spouting out such utter nonsense unfitting to the scene & circumstances, that there was an immediate dislike and aggravation, from me and the one I was watching with.

We still watched it till the end, enduring one idiotic and nonsensical scene after the next, just to see where it ends up.

And it was an cringed-facepalm watch throughout.

I never expected it to be such an bad movie, especially not with such an starring cast.
