Absolutely the worst movie.
It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
An ambitious, suspenseful, taut, apocalyptic/thriller that was quite an refreshing take on the genre. The performances were all strong and the story ingenious which will keep you on the edge of your seat especially towards the end and the effects and filming were subtle but haunting, so if you were thinking it was going to be an action packed disaster flick think again because it's deeper and darker than that. The pace could of been a little faster but I like how it had a nice little build up to the shocking, haunting and sad end. Overall I really appreciated this little gem that has a great story and plot behind it that has a lot of potential of being a great remake because it could be improved upon. Recommended even though it's quite depressing but what a movie! More of a 3.5 out of 5 stars.
This is the kind a movie I can't bear, the whole script rests on a main character who artificially postpones action in order to complete an hour and a half movie. I have the same feeling than watching Straw Dogs. As other comment says: "your guarding a bunch of helpless children from a known psycho, and a very suspicious stranger shows up when you are out in the middle of no where, you take him away from the house and you shoot him and then you shoot him again". You know the guy should shoot the bad guy from the very beginning, and there is no reason no to do so, you know and he knows... but we have to complete a movie.The main character is also incoherent with his purpose of protecting the kids, leaving them alone, and breaking the unity of the family group. The action is done against basic human rules of behavior.The acting is OK, is the writing and the whole movie concept that doesn't work.
The acting was good. The movie was well made. But the characters didn't make sense. The plot was unrealistic. I realize movies don't have to be realistic, but this type of movie should be. What type of movie was it? A bad one. The type that keeps showing promise, only to let down.At some point, you tell the children that the world is ending. I would tell them immediately, but maybe you can justify not telling them because they are innocent. When smoke is coming up from the town, you are forced to tell them--unless the only child that notices is the youngest. When the stranger who smiles at you when you point a gun at him shows up, then for the love of God, you tell them.At some point, the audience should maybe start liking a character. Instead, I found myself rooting for the asteroid. But even the asteroid let me down. I've seen more exciting asteroid apocalypse on public television.And by the way, when there are basically no consequences for your actions (one of the cool things about the end of the world), your guarding a bunch of helpless children from a known psycho, and a very suspicious stranger shows up when you are out in the middle of no where, you take him away from the house and you shoot him and then you shoot him again.And here's a memo to Spain, the 1900's called: they want their rock salt back.
This is an interesting film. But... I have to say the actors are really good. The cinematography is very good. Directing isn't bad either. But the script. Oh my god! Attention Spoilers! OK. it is very noble to save some children while the world is going to be destroyed by a meteoroid in three days. Sure you have to keep up hope till the end. That would be a nice message. But that's not the issue of this film. Here the ending of the world is nothing more than a trick to keep suspense high. The love scene in the end is so pathetic: Girl kissing Protagonist while meteoroid destroys the world. The script could have been very good if the writer/director wouldn't have taken himself so serious.
