    I can't believe I didn't walk out

    Im feeling the afterburn of regrets for seeing this movie. The entire theater outside of me and two women, left sometime before the hallway point. I'm honestly super jealous of them now. That was a hard movie to watch. I was feeling it at the beginning but that was short-lived lived. Do yourself a favor and skip this bull. I actually enjoy watching Dave Bautista, weirdly enough. I say weirdly, because the last few movies with him that I watched just absolutely sucked. The screen writing with the movies he is in, needs help. Do this actor some justice. Please!

    Watched at AMC on 9-25-2025.

    Just not a good movie

    The cinematography is mediocre, the acting is stiff if not laughable, the action is poor, the locations are completely unremarkable and you will most likely be bored to tears after a few minutes. I left the theatre with about 20 minutes to go because I just couldn't take it any longer.

    If you need to entertain a pre-teen or young teenager who is a fan of Bautista, maybe, otherwise don't waste your money on this.

    A mediocre movie made to get your cash.

    Avoid wasting your time and money.

    The movie is another cheap action movie containing some familiar names to lure you in - as they did to me- many left before the ending.

    In a nutshell: 1- Story: 0/10 ( cliche at best ) 2- Acting: 3/10 3- Sound: 2/10 4- CGI: PS2/10 5- Comedy/Horror: They must've added this genre by mistake.

    Bottom line: See above 🙃

    Average action movie

    Pretty average action post apocalyptic movie, with well known actors, who did lazy job except Bautista and Samuel L. Jackson. Story is predictable, scrip it's also very poorly done, there's no character development. It's good to watch when your stoned Couse there's nothing important to remember or pay attention to, only the things happening with few action scenes.

    Read Inconstant Moon instead

    This story was fresh in the 1960s when Larry Niven wrote a story called Inconstant Moon about someone who thought the sun was going nova, frying the earth, with reports coming in from the eastern hemisphere as people died.

    It turned out it was a horrible solar flare killing half the plant. Beautifully written, everything that might have setup a story like thus, only a lot better.
