Mutant World

When a meteor crashes on Earth, a group of people seek shelter in a bunker. Ten years later, they need supplies and leave the bunker, discovering that the survivors have turned into mutants.

"Mutant World" is a sci-fi that can be described in one word: awful. The acting, story and the screenplay are terrible and the movie begins without any character and situation development and has a corny conclusion. The viewer sees a young woman preparing to shag with her boyfriend in a van and receiving a phone call from her father. Then they drive to a bunker and start shooting people since the place does not have supply enough for their neighbors and friends. Ten years later, the woman leaves the bunker commanding an army to get supplies and they stumble with mutants and a few people that survived to the apocalypse. The movie is so bad that there is a cameo participation of Kim Coates only to give his name to the credits. My vote is two.

Title (Brazil): "Mundo Mutante" ("Mutant World")

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.

A meteor crashes into the Earth. Marcus King (Kim Coates) tracks it and leads a group of people into the bunker facility. Some ten years later, the facility is failing and supplies are dwindling. Marcus' daughter Melissa King leads a squad to scavenge only to find murderous mutants and suspicious survivors.

For some reason, the only capable actor, Kim Coates, disappears after the first five minutes. The fighting is weak. The acting is nothing special. It's low budget sci-fi TV. The mutants look cheesy. The production is strictly leftovers from other TV crews. They get to play around with a couple of sets but it's more sad than good camp.

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...

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.
