Confinement

On IMDb this is called Darwin and also Confinement but on Amazon it's known as 2149:The Aftermath. I've watched a lot of movies but never seen 3 completely separate movie titles before. I haven't even watched it yet but when you can't get past the title without a mess you know it's gonna be trouble.

Like a found footage flick, this one benefits from its shortcomings by focusing on what is available without a big budget. Most of the good parts are at the end, but the first half was not utterly devoid of interest. The commentary on social media, tech, and video games was perhaps a bit on the nose, but it created an effective sense of isolation -- of an almost "empty world" -- pretty well.

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.

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.

It might be hard to get a fix on the real reviews of this movie since there are so many versions out there.

But for the one named 2149: The Aftermath, it's not an exciting movie and it does leave a lot of things unanswered but it is an OK movie.

I can see that some might draw parallels to what is happening now with Covid. Stay inside, let the government take care of you, and other things.

Beef up the response to Covid and it might come close to something like this. The people in the pods would be the pro vaccine/mask people and the people outside would be the no vaccine and mask people.
