Sobreviviendo

I watch this movie because it is the last one starring the poor Emilie Dequenne, before her death in March 2025. Surprising science fiction, dystopic, a new kind of films since several years, one decade now. And I am afraid that will increase in the future. This film is rather brave, daring for a French film, but that's not the first of this kind. I don't remember the other titles, but this plot sounds familiar to me. The feature ENFIN SEULS, starring Gilles Lelouche, seems to be rather close to this one. Curious film, but worth the watch. French film industry does its best to propose modern topics. RIP Emilie. Your last film was a modern action woman character, a role that you never had before. I will miss you very much.

The story isn't great, but it's better than people on here are saying. It kept my attention and it wasn't predictable, and that's all I was hoping for. The characters are obviously not native English speakers, and they go from English to French randomly throughout the movie. It is a good depiction of how tragedies bring out the best in some people, and the worst in others. The acting is better than I thought it would be, as were the effects. It kept you on your toes and you're never quite sure what's going to happen next. I've definitely sat through much worse than this. It's worth a watch if you've got some time to kill.

A Gripping, Realistic Apocalyptic Drama for a Selective Audience This low-budget, apocalyptic movie stands out for its refreshing approach to the genre. By focusing on a family's survival story, led by a courageous female character, the film delivers a gripping narrative that eschews sensational disaster scenes and special effects.

Shot on real locations, the movie's grounded realism immerses the viewer in the world of the story. The method acting is impressive, adding depth to the characters' struggles.

While this film may not appeal to everyone, it will resonate with a selective audience seeking a more nuanced, character-driven apocalyptic drama. The pacing is well-balanced, making for a compelling watch.

Overall, I'd rate this movie 3/5. It's not a masterpiece, but its unique perspective and realistic approach make it a worthy watch for fans of independent cinema. In fact, the story has enough potential to be developed into a series, exploring the characters' journeys in more depth. Sudden End to Story wasn't expecting :(

So many stupid plot holes and stupid scenarios it starts to drag early in.

The stupid father, the really stupid kids who continually get themselves into trouble, the daughter in particular is really annoying.

The herd of carnivorous rampaging crabs is so ridiculous it is laughable, they move at a breathtaking pace and eat meat ? Where did they come from ? Outer space ?

Other stupid bits : within days of the disaster everything looks a 100 years old, the few humans that survive all want to kill each other, on sight, immediately, without thought. Where did all the dead fish go ? How did one little boat survive ? When will the family stop crying & screaming ? Way too much emotion, over and over. When did the mum become a crack shot ? How many triumphant moments within moments of despair can one film have ?

And then the sea comes back to round a fun holiday off, just silly.

The concept is good. The trailer is interesting. The plot is not bad either, but I didn't like the movie's ending. The movie seems to have been cut off abruptly. The acting is not bad. There aren't many actors anyway. The concept is good. Some of the visual effects are not bad either. But the ending of the movie was a complete disappointment. I watched the film in the cinema, I don't regret it, but the ending of the movie is very bad and meaningless. I thought the movie would continue, but it ended suddenly. It's as if the editor of the movie got tired and bored and left it halfway and no one sent the movie to the cinema. I think this happened because I can't make any other sense of it. Also, there are no plant or animal remains after the sea receded. I don't think the Caribbean seas are like this. Anyway, they ended a good idea with a bad final.
