2149: The Aftermath

If your like me and have watched all the SciFi movies on Netflix and prime and stumbled on this one, it's worth a watch. It's not an action packed edge of your seat movie...there's actually no action at all in it. But it is good enough to enjoy. I like the realistic future it paints. Very believable. Just don't be nitpicky about things like oh there hair is done and armpits are shaved yet its suppose to be some hard future living with nothing...it's a movie. Their hair is going to be done and yes, their makeup is also done so cry.

Just read the reviews for DARWIN (2016).... Money grab re-issue of the exact same film.

The original was meh. This renamed title is obviously still meh.

Disappointed to see the great Molly Parker here.

As stated in other review this is a reissue / rename of a 2016 movie however I had not seen it before. I quite enjoyed it for what it was, a movie with minimal cast with no expensive backdrops etc. It's almost a snapshot of a part of the whole story and yet it held my interest. If you like end of the world SF then I think you will like this, it's not going to get any awards or make big bucks but kept my interest.

This is one of those insufferable cases where a great idea was executed clumsily, and it seems to be largely due to the format at hand. Other reviewers point out the obvious that this is a story that ultimately could not fit the scope it is intended to (a feature length film). It would make for a great singular TV episode type thing, or a short novel.

Ultimately as a 90 minute movie, it is too light on content and storytelling to maintain itself. It is quite literally the kind of film where you could fade in and out of and not lose step with it as long as you are paying attention to the first and last 15 minutes or so.

It's all very interesting and neat, but that's it.

A bit slow going and could have done with a lot more action, but overall not a bad film.

I felt that there should have been more about the back story and maybe a bit more looking at what had happened to the rest of the world.

Worth a watch if your bored, but don't anticipate to much from this film.
