Cora

As in Core - but with Cora, because ... well I do not think I have to explain more: so no pun intended. The main actress has her work cut out ... she really has quite a lot to do in the movie. I will not go into details, but you will understand once you watch the movie. It is quite twisted and there is a lot to explore - not just for her ... Science Fiction is a territory that can give a lot of freedoms.

The script is decent - but while it may hold some surprises for casual viewers I do believe that ... well let's go with experienced ones will not be too surprised by the twists this has to offer. I'd say most will be able to tell where this is trying to go. Again no pun intended - humanity is mostly its own enemy ... no matter what happens ... I would say you could make a similar case here ... just try not to double cross ... let's leave it at that.

A standout element of the movie is the adventurous behavior of Cora. She is a character defined by her courage and willingness to confront the unknown head-on. Whether facing daunting obstacles or navigating uncharted territories, Cora's proactive and daring approach to her circumstances is consistently engaging. Her decisions and actions propel the plot, making her a dynamic and inspiring figure whose journey is as much about inner strength as it is about external exploration.

This adventurous spirit is brought to life brilliantly by Felicia Rylander, who delivers a captivating performance as Cora. Rylander imbues the character with a nuanced blend of vulnerability, determination, and raw emotion. Her portrayal makes Cora's trials and triumphs deeply resonant, allowing the audience to fully connect with her experiences. Rylander's ability to convey both the character's internal struggles and her outward resolve is a key factor in the film's immersive quality.

A committed and idealist brave young woman working hard alone, kinda like Ripley in alien, gets abandoned by her employers, screwed over. She must strike out on her own to look for answers. Some of the best low budget shoot outs Ever. Doesn't give you all the answers and keeps in guessing. I think it has a metaphors about the human condition, involving Hope, idealism, and survival of the fittest thinking, handled better than Most apocalyptic thrillers. I think the mist might be late stage capitalism for instance. The sci fi touches are worthy of aldous huxley nearly. Also reminded me of the DOmestics 2018 in a good way. Classy way to do this type of thing.

I wished I watched the trailer on youtube first could have saved me wasting my time. First up this is some kind of student type project film, everything is bad.....Sets, acting, editing, script (if it has one) are all awful beyond expectation. Its not a proper film more a tragic attempt at one thats just a total mess.

So my advice to you is if for some reason you come across this film ABSOLUTELY track down a trailer first, I doubt you will want to watch it after that. But to recap its really, really, really bad in every single area dont be fooled and dont waste your time. Theres plenty of good stuff out there this shoody, half assed rubbish is just an insult!

The film has some convincing special effects, especially the toxic mist, but any notion that it symbolizes "late-stage capitalism" is purely ludicrous. The film's story arc is one of survival in a post-apocalypse setting that pits selfishness against altruism. Other than its sluggish pacing, Cora suffers from an incomplete script that introduces a MacGuffin (the scientists) but delivers no resolution (what happened to the scientists). Note that "deleted scenes" are displayed during the end credits, which reveal a longer film was shot but a shorter film was released. It feels like a TV series pilot that was abandoned but sold to theaters to recoup expenses. Actress Sanne Brostöm (Cora) bears a resemblance to Mona Lisa but I doubt it was anything more than coincidence.
