    Awful Rubbish

    I must have watched a different film from some of the reviewers. This was awful. The acting was rubbish, the script seemed to be written by a child, the CGI was amateurish. In short, I couldn't find a single good thing to say about it. I can't even think of anything more to say in order to fill up the ten lines I'm supposed to fill up. Everything about the film was so bad that I'm guessing even the catering made the actors ill. Oh, the weapons wouldn't have stood up to any use either and the costumes were almost as bad as 1 Million Years BC (which I think someone else mentioned). So there we have it, no saving graces whatsoever except it probably paid for Sean Bean's new house extension.

    Enjoyed it Very Much Above Average SyFy Fun

    Don't believe all the haters this was miles above the usual SyFy channels movies. Sean Bean while he has a small part adds a bit of validation to the Film. Reminded me a little of 10,000BC, the few special effects pieces were well done, acting was good overall. The movie moves along at a nice pace and you really care about the characters. Add to the mix some Zombies and you have a great evening of popcorn munching fun for home viewing if this were out on DVD I would probably rent it for my friends who haven't seen it. Beautiful Cinematography really captures the sites and help to draw you in to the overall story.

    Decent for a low budget.

    While this is a low budget B movie, it has its charms. Sean Bean's character will surprise you as his role doesn't succumb to what most of his characters seem to. If you've got nothing else to watch and want a post apocalyptic film, then this might fill your time.

    Tip top Sci-fi

    Here is a tip top made for TV Sci-Fi movie. The script is clever, the film belies it's budget looking fab with the South African locations and all the cast shine.The creature effects are excellent and the action gallops along with some style.I would of really liked to have seen this on a big cinema screen rather than my TV,big as it is, with the bloody adverts every 10 muns butting in.Another problem with watching films on TV here in the UK is the TV channel logo top right all the way through a film. Someone explain why? I know which station i am on. Anyway can't fault this film so it gets top marks from me mainly due to 60 years of not seeing this plot used before in the Sci-fi genre.Well worth your time or rent it without fear of the cost.

    I regret that I finished it..

    There are movies that you watch and think! How did they manage to get money to make movies like this? (similar like Tomatoes Killers(and sequels) I do realize we all have our own taste in movies, but seriously!!! Story line, logic, the way people look, their believes...etc. They could of make movies like this back in 60. What happens when we watch some fantasy or Sci-Fi movies of 60's? we giggle and think... "this does not seams real... nether this... this would not evolve into that... this is just silly..." and so on! Just like this movie! What is the verdict? Do not watch this movies unless your only alternative for evening entertainment is smashing your head against the wall. This movies will not give you any idea of what would world look like after post-apocalyptic event! It will not wider your horizons of imagination or what ever.... p.s. Sean Bean is a good actor! He must of had money problems why he accepted this role, or it was a favor to some producer...

      The part of Amal was written with Sean Bean in mind, even before the actor agreed to do the film.
    • Goofs
      Barely surviving in a stone age culture explains why all the men have beards, yet somehow all the women have shaved armpits and legs.
    • Quotes

      Dorel: Kaleb, what is this?

      Kaleb: It's a book.

      Dorel: What do you do with it?

      Kaleb: It's from the past. People used to put their thoughts and ideas in books like this. After the disease came everyone was too busy trying to survive. Books died.
