Mutant World

Terrible acting by people you actually don't necessarily want on TV. Embarrassing special effects not even expected on Syfy. Bumpy and partially broken plot, i.e. scenes don't connect.

What really struck me was the obvious attempt to swap the gender roles, i.e. the girl officers played the strong and tough ones whilst the guys were dumb making all sorts of stupid mistakes and statements + going for the sucker moves. Even 10 years after a meteor hit really not so credible. This might have been a kinky idea for a 90s movie but in 2014 I would have expected the prdoucers to be a bit more sober about gender aspects...

Bottom line is there was no way I could watch it to the end...

"I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee."

That was the part that made me laugh so hard i fell out of my seat and made my dog go into a protection frenzy fit thinking i was attacked by ghosts or something and needed to be saved. Not those exact words, but anyone that plays Skyrim and watched this movie knows. Also the singing, to much hanging tree song.

OK, so it's bad story wise, really bad, so many plot holes it's better to take an arrow to the knee then go through this again. That said, the filming is good, quality really surprised me, good camera work and they really did their best on using the scenics, to complement what could have been a good story, and succeeded on block bluster level, you have to give them credit for that. If they just put in a little more effort in the story. There is just to much left out for some scenes and lines to make any sense unless you fill in the blanks yourself keeping in mind that they simply skipped any chatter between characters between scenes to give a bit of depth.

The actors individually all did a really great job with what they were given. There were a few cheesy bits, but all in all i cannot honestly say the acting was bad, the script was though.

All in all it's B it's never going to be cult ever, but with some fantasy of your own to fill in some blanks it's very good to watch and enjoyable when you come home from the pub, with just enough alcohol to not fall asleep.

Low budget movie. It wasn't a complete waste. However, I checked this out because Kim Coates was first on the list as one of the players in this title, but he was barely in it. He appeared in about the first 5 minutes of the film, and reappears in the last 4 minutes. I don't plan on giving this film a second chance. There are still a handful of unanswered questions about what happened in the film as well. I grabbed this film out of a redbox, which we can't always expect great films from that. This also featured the recording artist Ashanti. I have not listened to her music, but I can say that I certainly hope her talent for music is a lot better than her talent for acting.

I just watched this movie on SciFi Channel and was impressed with it. The actors did a great job and were all very believable in their roles. The plot is pretty straightforward relating to surviving a major disaster. It has elements of a zombie movie too. There were several technical and tactical goofs and a major continuity error but I still enjoyed it.

Some of the non-spoiler technical goofs are:

The GPMG on top of the truck never had an ammunition can or belt in it. Magazine/cartridge pouches flat; common, at least put something in there!

Tactical goofs were the typical splitting forces in a known hostile environment and not leaving someone on the truck MG when dismounted.

The continuity goof would require a spoiler but it is pretty obvious when you watch the movie.

I liked that the 'survivors/preppers' were the good guys.

Overall, worth watching and kudos to all the young actors for a great job.

Criticizing this movie would be like mocking a deaf child for not being able to hear, which is almost as cruel as having to endure the pain of watching it (although I'm sure working on it was even more painful...). #nitrosMovieChallenge.
