The movie begins with an exciting and unusual accident . Audiences expect something strange happens like monsters and gaint creatures and so on. But we see a logic vision entire the movie. the storyline is vague. Why that happens? the smoke. where is it from? the story focuse on family ties and how the want to save their lives. I expect more unusul things. Anyway, That is not a bad movie.
a middle-range movie movie. 6 out of 10 is good for the movie.
I really enjoyed this little gem when I stumbled onto it.
It was a fresh concept that got straight into the action, it showcased characters through their exploits rather than having some clumsy method of character building but most refreshing was that the two main protagonists were clever and quick thinking. There wasn't the usual 'why in god's name would they do that' stupidity or similar frustrations. Just decent robust characters trying to figure stuff out.
Okay, the set up did telegraph the ending a little but I found the film thoroughly entertaining and if you like well made 'survival' films then this is defo worh checking out

If you're reading this mid Covid crisis, watch this. It's almost as if the writers knew what was about to happen two years later (2020). I don't want to say anything more to avoid spoilers. But very well made and acted. Tough to watch if you're sensitive.
(Caught it on Amazon Prime BTW, and just thought I would give it a whirl. Glad I did.)

This as really cool movie. Actually a great metaphor for the Coronavirus that is beginning to take over the world right now.
So many great ideas terrifically executed with some really great acting and non Hollywood action. Loved it!
A few crazy plot flaws but honestly don't impact the movie much but dropped my rating slightly. 😉

It started off as a drama and then went full thriller on me. Since I had not read what I was about to see (it has a cool sounding title doesn't it?) on Prime, I was quite surprised, because I thought this was going to a diffeerent direction. No matter if you are as weird as me and don't read up on the movies you're about to watch or come prepared, the movie is really gripping.
Tension is high throughout, even in moments when I think, that wasn't too clever now was it, the movie still holds a grip on me. And the characters try and do their best considering the situation they find themselves in. Certain things may be a bit too neatly tied up (like the old couple), but overall this would be nitpicking. Just enjoy the thrill and keep guessing where this heads next ... no pun intended

- TriviaFinal film of Anna Gaylor.
- GoofsWhen Mathieu's air hose is burnt through, they don't consider trying to fix it (considering that they are in a science lab) or even breathing from the hose. They also don't think to take the bottle so they have a spare; nor do they try on any of the several suits available in the lab to see if they fit, especially Anna, who isn't much larger than Sarah.
Anna and Mathieu are the same size; both actors (Kurylenko and Duris) are about 1.73 meters tall (or 5' 8"), and Duris is rather slender. Sarah is still a child and clearly much shorter/smaller than both Mathieu and Anna.
