Absolutely the worst movie.
A Masterpiece!
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
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.
Norman Reedus of Walking Dead fame is the reason why many people are trying to see this flick. It's a post-apocalyptic flick with only 3 actors in it. Two male and one female who appears in a dream. Does that work?For me it was just above mediocre because you got that feeling of living underground and once the earth is shown they do know that it's over that you will have to live underground. Why two people are the main subject is rather simple. They have to guard bodies being preserved to survive the disaster but things go wrong between the two of them. Is it a horror or a thriller, can't say that i is really a horror because it's never scary, there isn't a monster lurking or other creatures walking the earth. Its' just a cat and mouse story. I'm happy that I have seen this flick but the only thing I can say is that it will solve in thin air....Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 0/5 Story 2,5/5 Comedy 0/5
Review: This is a mediocre movie that is set in a bunker and based around 2 engineers, Cartwright (Djimon Hounsou) and Bauer (Norman Reedus) who are preserving elements of mankind, that are unique and irreplaceable. These 2 working class engineers have to go through there day to day tasks, to keep the bunker running smoothly, so they completely have trust in each other, along with a friendly relationship. After a severe system failure, which damages the air coming into the bunker, Bauer finds out information about Cartwright, which effects there close relationship and could damage the precious cargo that they need to preserve. I must admit, the whole dark tone and 80's type soundtrack did get to me after a while and I did find Bauers actions a bit over the top but it's still a watchable movie which must have been difficult to direct, because it's based on 2 characters in a confined space. I liked the chemistry between the two characters but it does take some time to get going and the ending was a bit weak. Average!Round-Up: I've always been a fan of Djimon Hounsou's, 52, work since his amazing performance in Spielbergs, Amistad in 1997 but his career didn't blow up as it could have done. He was great in Blood Diamond and Gladiator but a lot of his projects, like the Tempest, the Island, Push and Elephant White, have been disappointing. It was good to see him in the latest Fast & Furious movie, and as a villain in the Guardians of the Galaxy but it's a shame that he hasn't become a bigger star. This is the first major release from director Christian Cantamessa, who also wrote the movie. He didn't do a bad job for his first movie and he picked two good actors to play the lead but he could have brought in other elements to the storyline, which would have made it more interesting.I recommend this movie to people who are into their sci-fi/thrillers starring Norman Reedus, Djimon Hounsou, Sandrine Holt and Michael Hogan. 4/10
Air is a neat little post apocalyptic thriller full of loneliness, claustrophobia, paranoia and two really great lead performances from Norman Reedus and Djimon Hounsou. The two of them play custodians of sorts, in a cramped underground bunker. The world above is bereft of oxygen, forcing humanity to go into cryogenic hibernation. They exist in solitary down there, simple caretakers surrounded by earth's best and brightest scientists, all in silent slumber, leaving the two of them to go mad in the presence of both each other, and their memories. Reedus is Bauer, the slick loudmouth, a somewhat callous man who cares not for the sleeping scholars, his personality calcified into brittle cynicism by time and tragedy. Hounsou is a bit more soulful as Cartwright, haunted by waking visions of his deceased wife (Sandrine Holt) and morally torn when the big bad decisions of the character arc come his way. He believes what they are doing is important, while Bauer could give a crap. Soon there's trouble, and when they venture to a nearby bunker for spare parts, terrible secrets are uncovered and the shaky bond of trust between them starts to disintegrate. The film relies on its two lead actors who are both solid, especially Reedus, whose intensity ramps up in the third act to an unbearable level as secrets of his past are gradually revealed. It's obviously low budget, and as such the special effects and machinery look like they've wandered in from a Roger Corman movie at times, but it kinda works and gives the atmosphere a 'lived in', organic feel. The plot gets murky and could have done with a bit more simplicity as it trips on itself in attempts to be complex, but it's still character based at its core, and in that regard it succeeds nicely. See it for its two stars, who are given a nice dystopian arena to play in, and tell a story through emotional beats, personal crisis and mounting unease quite well.
Another film, set after the apocalypse world. Unlike the other films associated with the apocalypse, here you will not see any effects, the film takes place essentially in the bunker which saved all the people (anesthetized , it must be said) are essential for continued human existence. All of this film you will see only two people playing. Even if the idea behind the film is fine, the script was bad , not to mention the investment inferior to the film itself. In addition, the film just terribly slow and boring. Even in the second part of the film tended plot completely different place, and not at all in a positive sense. In addition to what really bugged me was that it was one of the guys talked to some imaginary woman throughout the film.In short, you do not know what I suffered ... Rating 2 out of 10 .
