Best movie ever!
Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
When a group of friends tour Europe, Paul coaxes the others to take a detour. That detour is to the abandoned city of Pripyat, near Chernobyl. When the group gets together they meet up with Uri, an extreme tour guide. Uri is an ex-Russian, military officer. When they get to Uri's tours, they also meet up with two Norwegians, who are along for the tour. Uri assures them that the tour will be safe. He tells them that the radiation levels have just gone down, and since they will be their for a short time there's nothing to worry about. Once they get to Pripyat they encounter a checkpoint. Uri gets out and talks to the guards, the guards explain that there is no tours, due to inspection. The group is upset, they paid and want to see Pripyat/Chernobyl. Uri tells them there is nothing to be worried about he know another way in. Once in they discover the abandon city of Pripyat. It is in ruins from the Chernobyl disaster of 1986. The building have been reclaimed by nature, and all you see is the destruction. The housing complexes are eerie, and one of the girls takes snapshots of the different buildings. While looking around, before they go in they discover a carcass of a dead dog in the entry way of the apartments. While looking around, Uri finds a hot spot, but covers it quickly. The group in also surprised by a big bear that races past them.When they return from Pripyat to leave. The van doesn't start, it seems something or someone has striped the ignition cables. Then all of a sudden voices are heard. The group looks at each other and Uri gets a gun and goes to investigate. Chris goes and chases after him, then gun shots are heard. Two minutes later Chris returns, but a pack of wild dogs are right on his heels. He gets in the van with the help of the others, but his leg is mauled. Later on everyone except Chris/his fiancée go to investigate and find Uri. They return to Pripyat where Uri is in pieces, and they are in some underground bunker in Pripyat.When they return to tell Chris, the van is destroyed, and they are gone. The group travels back, and they realize they are not alone. One of the girls discovers a humanoid figure in her photo. When they get back to where they were, they are being followed. The group discovers a makeshift lab, and a building full of mutants. They try to escape but they are drawn deeper, where they don't realized they are inside the reactor. When they finally try to get help, they are hoodwinked, by those running these experiments. The only survivor thinking she's in a hospital, is fooled.I liked this movie, a lot of excitement, mystery, and surprise. The ending could have been better, but it had that fright effect.
Interesting premise that starts really well with a sort of fly on the wall docudrama feel but steadily declines into sub prime territory. Six American/Australian tourists on the 'Grand Tour" find themselves in Kiev and go on an extreme tourism trip to Chernobyl and of course it all goes wrong. The initial set up is creepy and highly credible but when the horror starts the credibility goes out the window.Each and every horror trope gets an outing and every bad decision (i.e. don't go into the basement) plays out, one by one.The end result is a bit of a shambles. Disappointing.
well i always like the stories like this and if the good director and producer support it the movie will be one of the top rated and popular between users choosing some charm actor like Olivia Taylor Dudley or Jonathan Sadowski is nice but it's not enough to fill the weak Aspects of scripts and directing ...i think movies like this is better to made like Cloverfield and REC , and show the story from Camera in hand of character , it can cover weak FX and make it more rapturous at end if you like action & horror movies and see too many movies in week and month this movie can be good cause there are no too many movie in this genre but i never put this in my favorite archive and delete it right after see it
Chernobyl, Pripyat, the whole area in real life is tailor made for delivering really good horror/suspense, like STALKER game did and Stalker movie years before the game.Instead of coming up with something new and actually scary, Chernobyl Diaries (CD) instead tries to mix Descent with The Hills Have Eyes (except with comically bad monster masks from Halloween store) and fails to give you horror and thrills of either of the movies it is trying to rip-off.While the movie started out fine, with tourists stuck in the hell-hole of Pripyat, the moment it actually starts delivering the "scares", you can kiss all atmosphere goodbye.The director first throws a bear at you for a cheap jump scare, then dogs, yes DOGS, simple dogs which are just hungry.. then they bring out the cliché-fest of cannibals. And they fail at using any of them to actually scare the audience. In-fact, the cannibals apparently spend their time standing in darkness camping and waiting for camera to face them so they can pull a tourist back trying to jump "scare" the audience. They do that till the last shot (last shot is a jump "scare" as well). This is a movie made by someone who thinks jump "scares" are actually scary and not startling.Lemme put it this way. I was expecting Blair Witch like psychological horror set in Chernobyl, but I got hilariously bad "horror" similar to the overrated comedy-horror movies like Insidious and Paranormal Activity (I think PA is actually scarier than this movie haha). This was just bad.This movie is so disappointing that while writing this review, I lowered my score from 3/10 to 1/10.So watch it if you like being disappointed. This movie delivers on that front.
