Strong and Moving!

Best movie ever!

Absolutely the worst movie.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

&&& SPOILER!! &&& This movie is entertaining to a very specific audience type. This is a very revealing spoiler post because some movies just make you go-- really?? I will give you this opportunity to skip this review and go to the next one. I never reviewed a movie before this. This was on Netflix, so hoping it might be along the lines of "Stranger Things". It wasn't rated and I thought my kids age 11 could watch it. Noway! Definitely rated R. If not for the violence, the language is over the top. An "F" word on practically every scene. B movies add that to make up for other absent content. No action in the movie happens till literally the halfway point. That seems to be the attractive point for some people. You are just there with the crew- taking the trip- no fluff or pansies invited. I don't mind that so much. Still the "elite" part was minimal- basic equipment. And mostly they walked around looking through binoculars with guns always ready, until they get in the building, then they walk through hallways- forever! It was indeed "realistic" in the sense that nothing "sci-fi" or really "horror" related occurs unless you call shooting horror and sci-fi. The aliens like people have mentioned are not alien looking. Watch it if you liked "Blair Witch Hunt". In positive retrospect, the movie had something that draws you in, and you feel you are there with the characters- in a war-torn, post apocalyptic scenario. The squad members are likable, and the acting isn't so bad. Just select a different trip for the kids!

Think...Astro Zombies, only without any of the hideous B movie, campy charm. This movie is yet another example of how the producer, the director and anyone else who put money into the thing begged their parents and siblings to write a positive review about it, thus tricking us into believing it is some kind of avant-garde, grindfest miracle. I am actually speechless as I try to describe the vacuous banality of this awful...thing. I can't even call it a movie, as that would be giving it too much credit. I do not have any technical, academic or practical expertise in script writing, directing, casting etc., but must say, I am convinced, with about a few hundred grande, I could make a far superior movie, with no training, going on intuition alone. That's how bad this movie is. And you don't even have to be original to make it watchable. Just copy Alien, The Thing, The Bourne Identity and 24, and abracadabra, a watchable sci-fi horror is born, making way more money and notoriety than something so bogged down by utter incompetence. I'd rewatch Astro Zombies anyday.

This movie appeal was the large amount of layers it has. The movie poster makes you believe it's just about a group of mercenaries hired to take down a Russian Weapon experiment in gene splicing, but I got so much more. This possibly had a lot to do with the Depth of some of the characters who story lines got to be played out though out the movie. You don't see that in horror movies (cause you really don't need it)The movie goes from action to horror to Sci-Fi and a few more genres as the main plot unfolds. This was so much more than what was expected and that made it something great to watch.

Some spoilers included, if it is possible to spoil this trash.I thought this flick might be something at least decent, but after 30 minutes, I just jumped forward to the end.Acting is bad even for B-movies. Camera is also bad. Script is non- existent, looks like somebody tried to mix Mad Max with current Washington politics. Driving a Toyota with machine gun is out of place for many reasons, and "brave" protagonist of the movie are using East German Wartburg (or it was Trabant).Everything is out of place, including land mines, weapons, languages etc.The idea is so stupid it does not deserve "Sci" in sci-fi. It could be placed in "St-fi" genre for it is stupid-fiction.It is obvious somebody needed this kind of trash to depict pro-Russian militia as criminals and murderers. That is Washington part of the mix.Total garbage, find something else.
