I watched this movie and thought the idea is good but why oh why do directors insist on stupid teenagers being stupid. It seems to be an after 2000 thing where teenagers seem to be spolt intitled idiots. In modern disaster films about global warming etc people moan about this that and the other but what do they expect. They caused it! To be honest we deserve everything that is going to happen to us. I'd love to be more positive about the future but as long as corruption and greedy people run this planet well this film theme could be the norm! A good movie should have characters we root for. I'm afraid in this one I didn't care enough about them to want them to survive!

I think daughter was added to create problem in movie. See goes somewhere and ask for help from which she runs.. so funny..

Conceptual wise perfect. Acting wise waste of lot of money.

Lot of minor issues in direction.. if you see this.. which I never recommend anyone to do so..

This is first time in my life. I am taking this much time and effort to review something on IMDb because I don't want anyone to waste their time. If you like scifi.. please ignore this movie.

I installed this app first time and first review..it's that much frustrating for me that I am doing this and had too do this.

Maybe prescient is the word I'm circling around here? Enter a very French tale about the future imperfect, amounting to more or less an environmental horror yarn evoking those 1970s nature run amuck flicks. The cinematography and editing grab and grip, especially the intro, vibrating almost with a sense of January 6 chaos. But as the tale reveals it's a survive-if-you-can story of fractured family amid a fractured world and Mother Nature will have her day on Anvers! Or something. The narrative traipses plausible ish, and the effects come across as not so unbelievable. My kingdom for a concrete bunker already!

The premise of acid-rain and climate collapse was potentially interesting and thus why I watched it in the first place. But the cinematography and effects were confusing, I couldn't tell when or where's it was safe to go. So that ends up being disappointing. But the worst are the characters and their "development". You get a very hazy backstory, a sick girlfriend, and hostile divorced parents with a teenage daughter who lives up to the stereotypical obnoxious teenage girl role. Her father has this nefarious past, one of many storylines that go nowhere. It's hard to say if she even likes her parents. They have no real heart-to-heart talks because they're running for safety. I get that -except - the daughter makes no attempts because ALL SHE DOES is scream non-stop for either mama or papa...mostly because she thinks she knows everything and ignores their attempts to keep her safe.. and then she starts screaming for them again.

This could have been an interesting climate-change horror story, instead it becomes a story of people we don't get to know...except that they are stuck with an unlikeable teenager who, I suspect, none of us end up rooting for.

After LA NUEE and a short movie also called ACIDE, this French film maker offers the best hopes for the future. I only hope that he won't proceed in stupid comedies. When it was released in movie theaters, I counfounded it with LE REGNE ANIMAL, another French film also more or less in the same kind of stories. Ecological, science fiction.... A genre exploitation French film, but with a big budget. Yes, this director is a good chance for the movie industry to AT LAST offer the audiences something really solid. I only regret the last minutes. I guessed something else. More dramatic, more tragic. His short film ACIDE, back in 2018, was really downbeat, depressing. This longer version should have been the same. Period.
