Survivre

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.

Sorry, movie is a waste if you don't like the main characters. Mom especially is spineless and especially stupid.

This is a case of too dumb to live, so no sympathy for the characters, equals no interest if they live or die.

Bad writing all around and the music department pretty much drives the movie telling you ooooo the bad guy is limping along to get the family, time to be scared.

Waste of time to watch, wouldn't recommend to anyone.... don't know how else to say how God awful this movie was other than to fill the review qouta... so this movie was épouvantable, beyond épouvantable.......

First, I have to say the events in Survive were quite different from what I expected based on the trailer. The basic plot-of the ocean suddenly retreating and the main characters finding themselves at the bottom of the exposed seabed-was as advertised, but pretty much everything that happened afterward took a different direction. On the plus side, it turned out to be a post-apocalyptic survival movie, and it was far more unpredictable than I imagined.

Overall, the acting is decent, but the main characters are absolutely beyond annoying. They frustrated me so much that I couldn't help but shout at the screen while watching. There are two things I really dislike in post-apocalyptic horror/action thriller/disaster movies: extremely irritating characters who do everything they shouldn't, and the tendency for survivors to turn on each other. Survive has plenty of both.

I really liked the core idea of the retreating sea and the characters going on a survival adventure on what used to be the ocean floor. It's a somewhat unique concept, and it reminded me of a sci-fi comic book I read as a kid that had a similar premise. However, the actual execution of the film wasn't great. The special effects are solid-I have no complaints there-but the story had so much untapped potential.

Survive also includes plenty of subtle nods to iconic blockbusters. For example, the family's boat is named Orca, just like the one used to hunt the shark in Jaws. At one point, a character says, "We're all going to die down here"-a line made famous by the Resident Evil series and overused in many other films. There's also a scene with a submarine and a massive wave that reminded me of Interstellar, and so on.

That said, the biggest surprise for me was that most of the dialogue is in French. This wasn't obvious at all from the trailer-they probably compiled most of the English lines into it. So, be prepared to read subtitles if you don't understand French.

Overall, I expected more, but Survive wasn't that bad. In fact, I think the rating it has should be a bit higher.

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 :(

Anyone who gives this movie more than 3 is on drugs, it's the worst movie I've watched for a while. The characters are not smart, the mom is so useless it's sad. The bad guy wouldn't last 5 minutes in real life and the daughter pathetic. He did have a an interesting premise, if you have a low IQ. Why they start talking French half way through is perfect, says all you need to know about this nonsense of a movie. Thought Hollywood was making crap movies, but the French have joined them it seems.so if you've got nothing else to watch, like paint drying or ants crawling on the floor, give this ludicrous movie a watch !
