Watch The Last Survivors For Free

Too much of everything

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

May Contain Spoilers 01. Large, attention-getting bonfires may be started in dry sand with one charcoal briquette propelled from a slingshot. The tactic is sound, provided you have access to a slingshot…and a charcoal briquette.02. Even if water is so scarce you need to count every drop, you will never have to worry about appearing dehydrated or suffer the indignity of chapped lips. Furthermore, dry cleaning of the hair, nails and clothing will keep you looking snappy, even if H2O becomes something the next generation only knows about in legend.03. If you do all the work and fighting, give all your water to the annoying emo guy who does nothing but look pale and whine about his kidneys shutting down. Never worry you will offend his sense of gallantry or honor: "don't waste it on me," is not in his vocabulary.04. Don't add to the annoying emo guy's problems by informing him that the well has been dry for days -- he has enough to worry about already…instead, give him more water…after all, he has to at least be able to cry if necessary.05. Food and water are not strictly necessary for human survival, they are really addictions. Hence hunger and thirst are cravings and may be overcome with enough patience and determination. This revelation awoke gooey, nostalgic memories of the film Ghost (1990) which demonstrated that death is just a disability that can be mastered if you only try hard enough.06. About every 5-20 minutes, introduce characters who sequentially speak in lower and lower registers. Your audience will thank you for distracting them from your film by having to regularly play with the remote.07. About every 5-20 minutes, be sure to have the screen go dark for what appears minutes at a time. Your audience will thank you for providing them with opportunities to imagine that something interesting is actually happening even if they can't see it.08. Ten years without rain will make Oregon look like the Lucerne Valley of the Mojave Desert. Even at Crater Lake and along the Pacific coast. Apparently Alaska, points North and the Great Lakes will have evaporated as well. In fact, it is well known that a single tanning booth turned the Sahara from a rain-forest into a wasteland in one afternoon.09. If you see strangers in the distance, leave your weapons lying on the sand as they approach so you don't hurt their feelings by implying you might not trust them. When they arrive and start killing your people, continue to not go for your weapons and stand in a line to make it easier for them to shoot you one by one. This is known as etiquette, although some unrefined types who don't know any better call it idiocy.10. Costuming the Big Bad Guy in a cassock, or at least a ministerial collar, for no particular reason adds layers and layers of subtle nuance, depth and dimension to the character and is not, by any stretch of the imagination, just a clown-like, ludicrous and trite cinematic cliché.11. When hiding from bad guys, look in the direction opposite from where they are so they won't be able to see you. For added protection, turn your face away as well. It's best not to know where they are.12. Some bad guys like to bag their heads in burlap and lay buried supine in the sand on the off chance someone will pass by. In case none of the other 8 or 9 people in the cast comes along, it's always possible a spontaneous remake of Mad Max will occur instead.13. In the future, anything viewed through a telescope or a pair of binoculars will be distorted and blurry. This is known as DystopiaVision or ApocolypseScope. The technique has had a profound effect on film-making, equivalent to the effect Citizen Kane (1941) had on Francois Truffaut, or the effect Racket Girls (1951) had on Ed Wood.14. In the future, telescopes will be rectangular, even though the optimal shape for high-quality optical lenses is circular -- a fact discovered by glass-makers even before the invention of the telescope. On the other hand, a rectangular case has the added advantages of being bulkier and more difficult to hold and focus.15. As already noted by the alert reviewer randall-50: In the future, internal combustion, prop-driven, light civil aircraft will dispense with magnetos in favor of distributors. Such crisp screen writing and attention to detail is worthy of Kubrick, or at least Microsoft Flight Simulator.16. After ten years without rain there will not be anyone left in Oregon with an IQ greater than 35.7. Exactly.17. When making a dramatic film, never hire someone who is clinically depressed to be your location scout.18. When making a dramatic film, be sure to use 100% genuine actors.XYZ

For a low budget Mad Max it had so much potential. Now there's many unbelievable or knick pick Post Apocalyptic details missing or just wrong.But, the movie does have a sense of surreal eerie charm with the vast dried farm fields going off into the distance with this little waif wandering the wasteland so determined to survive. Searching the farm ruins for a missing part for a derelict plane. The evil farmers' co-op warriors of the farmland always just over the horizon or lurking outside broken window panes gives it ghostly feel. Pumping out the last drops of the aquifer as everyone else dries up and dies. The young actress grows into her part and than sadly at the end the movie went full on Hunger Games...how many movies will that B movie ruin? Now I would give the movie a 9 considering the budget until the final ten minutes when it Jumps the Shark & the brake pads get ripped off Quentin "Mongo" Tarantino Kill Bill Gungan Style .Guess he felt the tug of Quentin pulling the stick. Real shame as it was heading toward greatness.oh well, it almost flew

"There was a time when a man owned the land, he controlled the water. But things are different. The water's mine, so the land is mine."The feeling I had after watching this post-apocalyptic film, was an irresistible urge to drink. Just as in "Mad Max" there's a scorching drought. Earthly life is reduced to a struggle for survival in a world that hasn't seen a drop of rain in more than 10 years and the survivors search daily for some precious water. Similarly, the courageous and very young Kendal (Haley Lu Richardson) who goes on patrol every day to get a few sips of water for herself and a few survivors in the area. She's also looking for a particular component that's required to make a defect airplane so she and the sick Dean (Booboo Stewart) can escape from the dead and dry Oregon valley.First the positive comments about this movie. The dreary, parched landscape is truly brilliant portrayed. The decaying houses buried by sand and the endless sweltering desert ensure, as I mentioned earlier, that you soon need something to quench your thirst. To create this miserable, desolate world, the Mojave Desert was used. The isolation of the scattered remaining inhabitants, is filmed in an adequate way. More than once the images made me think of an old Western movie. Also the performances were, especially that of the youthful Richardson, admirable. Quite an achievement at that age. She plays the role as protector and guardian of the spring with skill. The role of Booboo is limited, partly due to his illness, which means that his action space is confined to the attic. And the most adorable part is played by Max Charles as Alby, a brave little boy who sometimes turns out to be more mature than we thought in the first place. And third, despite the lack of action, the tension is tangibly present.Unfortunately, there were also some negative points. First, the bad guys are not very original. Obviously, there's again the religious whining. And when push comes to shove, they turn out not to be that clever when it's about defending themselves. After a while it even started to be a bit monotonous. Over and over again the back and forth running in between the various buildings and abandoned vehicles, really started to irritate at a given time. And seeing this fragile girl using a samurai sword as if she has done this already for years, was also hard to believe.But still it managed to fascinate me and it all looked intriguing enough, despite the limited budget. The desperate situation in which the individuals found themselves and the insane plan of Carson to acquire dominion over all the available water, so his daughter Brooke would become heiress of an empire, created a nerve-wracking cat-and-mouse game. "The Well" is a typical low-budget film that nevertheless managed to surpass other similar films, just by the appropriate use of limited resources, its authenticity and some decent acting.More reviews here : http://bit.ly/1KIdQMT

The well wants us to believe that Oregon is out of water....here's a hint go left to the ocean and start desalinating....it's a post apocalyptic movie that revolves around a girl that does everything except eat for 40 days...in which case she would be dead...she is trying to take care of a guy named Dean that you really begin to hate about 15 minutes into the movie....all he does is sleep and complain, when he finally dies I actually yelled hooray!......She eventually finds a means to escape, but does the the stupid thing and opts for revenge. Overall this entire movie sucked, but I will give props to Haley Lu Richardson for actually trying to make this an interesting movie.....she's a good actress, but just got cast in a horrible movie. I mean come on, all they want is water...and one guy eats half a peach 40 days later....it's not a survival movie...it's a joke.
