Year 10

There is no dialog at all. Apparently people forgot to talk after 10 years. The plot holes and all the things the director missed to many to count. Would be surprised if he got to work again. Very lazily laid out and took short cuts because they had no clue on what they were doing. I would expect something like this to be written by some college kids looking to get into the business with only a $1000 budget. Not sure what else i can write in this review. I have put more thought into the review than the director put into writing this script. The overall concept wasn't bad. Just didn't have enough brain power to put in speaking rolls.

This movie looked like something I would certainly enjoy, even though the poster appears a little trashy and, now that I've seen the film, is rather misleading. We follow a young man and his father as they try to survive after an unknown catastrophic event destroys civilization. While navigating the wilderness, filled with hungry wild dogs and cannibals, they also attempt to keep the young man's girlfriend alive.

The movie definitely reminded me of The Road (2009), and since it completely omits dialogue, films like Azrael (2024) and A Quiet Place (2018) also come to mind. Year 10, however, lacks the production quality and strengths those films had. It keeps everything to a bare minimum and does not offer the viewer a deeper look into this post-apocalyptic world. We never really learn what the catastrophic event was and are simply thrown into this scenario without many answers.

The decision to eliminate dialogue felt unnecessary and didn't add anything meaningful to the story. While it's clear that silence is crucial due to the cannibals and wild dogs, there's no compelling reason for the characters not to speak at all. This choice made it difficult to connect with them, as we know almost nothing about their backgrounds or personalities. Much of the film is simply spent watching the young man try to take on a group of cannibals in silence.

That said, the movie is very well shot and includes a few striking cinematic images of the bleak wasteland they inhabit. I would have loved to see more of this world and get to know the characters better, but likely due to budgetary constraints, the worldbuilding remains underdeveloped.

Overall, it's a decent survival thriller with a few strengths but notable flaws in its story and character decisions. If you enjoy this kind of film, Year 10 is certainly worth a watch, but it's far from remarkable. [5.7/10]

An interesting idea imagining what life would be like 10 years after the collapse of civilization, but the individual ideas didn't make sense. Anyone who has survived 10 years in this situation would 1. Have better survival skills, and 2. Make WAY better use of any resources.

The decisions made by all of the individuals, "good" and "bad," would not have kept them alive for 1 year, much less 10.

The atmosphere and mood in the movie were both good. It just needed a bit more sensible writing.

Oh, yeah, they'd also still speak. I'm sorry, but unless there was some kind of brain virus, people aren't going to just stop speaking. Superfluous plot gimmick.

It's a no dialogue movie and ok to watch. Do not expect great or exciting scenes.

Movie shows about survival in the doomed world. Characters are average and with very normal story line. In movie Boy is after his father's killer and his girl's medicine, story revolves around this situation.

Acting: Good Actors: Good Storyline: ok Direction: good

Movie lacks in binding audience, its really an average movie. Nothing wow or amazing. Couple of scenes are good. If you have spare time then watch it and no problem in skipping as well. Depends on your interest about movie genre.

Overall giving 5/10.

Wow, a dystopian thriller that actually missed presenting the obvious and best thriller fight sequence, and after setting it up so well, but then nothing. It could have been great, really great, but no. Nothing.

Oh well, mustn't grumble, it's not like this film was actually making that much of an effort to be convincing. The protagonist was presented as a clumsy idiot, stumbling around and generally messing up. Go figure.

I can't say I've ever seen a film with plot holes in it so large and so obvious. Quite bizarre. Who on earth thought this up and who directed it?

The best element was the soundtrack.
