The idea was good, the atmosphere is fantastic, and that's it.
Some of the dumbest characters I've ever seen in the movies and a weak ending. Come on!

I found this movie after someone shared a clip on social media,so it had me curious to see the whole thing.
This wasn't so much of horror,instead it was a drama almost passing like a thriller.
It kept your attention throughout,as you're intrigued to see how it ends.
Although a bit clichéd,it still was original & overall storyline decent.
When the parents traveled to get a suit for their daughter,why not use both that appeared on the lab shelf? Would of gave better survival chances,spare parts or helping the old couple.. Also why not(try)finding a car,bike or motorcycle to help move around faster to preserve tank oxygen? The father did this.. finally,as the movie is almost over.
Bit odd how the daughter was acting despite her mom died,all going on around her but given she was free of containment & with a boy she loved all seemed ok.. Even though now her dad can only survive,based on the bubbles conditions?
Found it rather interesting the gas causing those in bubble chambers to breath,could end up surviving outside without help.. As though biologically,things got switched in reverse.
Was the parents not a couple? Seemed dad had a place across the street from daughter & mom or was it for more living space,as the bubble chamber took up space?
I had a flash back to Titanic when the old couple is laying in bed,waiting for their demise.
Was cast & acted decent plus cinematography was fine.
Is worth checking out it is in French,but enjoyable with subtitles if needed.

If you're reading this mid Covid crisis, watch this. It's almost as if the writers knew what was about to happen two years later (2020). I don't want to say anything more to avoid spoilers. But very well made and acted. Tough to watch if you're sensitive.
(Caught it on Amazon Prime BTW, and just thought I would give it a whirl. Glad I did.)

This as really cool movie. Actually a great metaphor for the Coronavirus that is beginning to take over the world right now.
So many great ideas terrifically executed with some really great acting and non Hollywood action. Loved it!
A few crazy plot flaws but honestly don't impact the movie much but dropped my rating slightly. 😉

The movie begins with an exciting and unusual accident . Audiences expect something strange happens like monsters and gaint creatures and so on. But we see a logic vision entire the movie. the storyline is vague. Why that happens? the smoke. where is it from? the story focuse on family ties and how the want to save their lives. I expect more unusul things. Anyway, That is not a bad movie.
a middle-range movie movie. 6 out of 10 is good for the movie.
Did you know
- TriviaFinal film of Anna Gaylor.
- GoofsWhen Mathieu's air hose is burnt through, they don't consider trying to fix it (considering that they are in a science lab) or even breathing from the hose. They also don't think to take the bottle so they have a spare; nor do they try on any of the several suits available in the lab to see if they fit, especially Anna, who isn't much larger than Sarah.
Anna and Mathieu are the same size; both actors (Kurylenko and Duris) are about 1.73 meters tall (or 5' 8"), and Duris is rather slender. Sarah is still a child and clearly much shorter/smaller than both Mathieu and Anna.
