Boring

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

This was BAAAAAAAAAD. / / / / / / / / / / / Bad film lol

I remember choosing the book when I was at school for O'level exams 47 years ago and it was obviously written to be suitable for young teenagers. The story in the film didn't relate to the book. I wanted to relive my enjoyment of it but was disappointed. Having said that, I did enjoy the film,the acting and story, but it wasn't Z for Zachariah.

Even if this movie is seen as an allegory, or a modern Bible story, it is hard to accept a post-apocalyptic landscape in which no horror or tragedy is ever shown. Instead, nuclear apocalypse is a plot device used to isolate three characters in a love triangle-- a rather extreme device.A young woman (Margot Robbie in a fine performance) lives on a farm in a secluded valley that somehow escaped the nuclear holocaust. She is joined by two men who managed to survive because they were both underground when it happened. The first to arrive is John (Chiwetel Ejiofor), an engineer wearing complex hazmat gear. Later on, Caleb (Chris Pine) arrives, though he skulks around stealing eggs before he's discovered. For all they know, they are the last three people on Earth, people whose survival is very much in question. Their secluded farm, like the Garden of Eden, is an illogical phenomenon that only makes sense as fiction. That's fine, as long as there's a reason to dispense with rationality in the interests of a message, or at least entertainment. I'm not sure that "Z for Zachariah" manages that, because it is diverting but enigmatic, and ultimately unsatisfying. Themes of religion and rebuilding are introduced, but not explored. Alcohol is introduced a few times, only to confuse motivations of characters we barely understand in the first place. The movie is careless about all the characters, in fact-- especially the fourth one, a dog named Faro. He is the girl's constant companion on the farm at first. Then the men arrive, the plot begins, and the movie drops the dog without a word of explanation. (Perhaps Caleb ate him? Hot dog and eggs?)It is classified as sci-fi on IMDb and other places, but use of the word "radioactive" doesn't qualify a movie as science fiction, and I saw nothing else that looked like science, unless you count an engineer building a water-wheel. Really, it's a chick flick that's set in a minimally-realized future. It's not an ordinary chick flick, in that there is no girl talk, but the movie's subject is not survival or the future, it's human emotions under stress-- love, loneliness, jealousy.If you agree that emotions are what will matter most to the last three people on earth after a nuclear holocaust, then this movie may be for you.NB: I haven't read the book, which I gather is superior to the film. But a movie has to stand on its own merits, so the original source material is ultimately irrelevant. As Tom Wolfe said when asked about the film version of Bonfire of the Vanities, "I retained the right to cash the check."

In my modest opinion it is an underrated movie. Of course it has it's mistake but still had shown us some good things. you will go through the interesting life of three characters who have fallen in love triangle which was pretty exciting and interesting for me and this was introduced by many great ways.To start with the soundtrack which was great and made us blend with the events. Then we cannot deny the great performance by both Margot Robbie who proved to me that she is a great actress and Chiwetel Ejiofor who is one of my favorite actors, Chris Pine wasn't bad but he wasn't as good as them. The Maestro of this piece is Craig Zobel who has shown to us his own personality in his work and he has a respectable view who I totally loved.You live 90 minutes of love struggling which ended in the best way it could by showing us that love is always the same whatever the world is.
