Something about this movie seems very familiar. I keep thinking I've seen it before, but the more I review my mental database of watches, I can't find a single time I would've seen it. It's not really old enough for me to have accidentally seen it, so I assume I just haven't.
BUT that means that this movie is familiar and predictable. Oopsie. Those are good things for stuff like sweaters or new houses, not movies. I'm going to spoil this bad boy if you haven't seen it, so if you're desperate to watch this with no prior knowledge, DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU!
The acting in this movie is so goofy and over the top, especially the "feral people." Hey look, cannibals who grunt and growl instead of talk. OH and they have sharpened teeth! Cool. Larry Fishburne explains that this is a "disease" that people get. Uh, ok. That's their really poor way of explaining why they shoot people who catch a cold. Other than that, the acting is... ok? The cast is good, but the script is stupid as hell and I guess the acting fits that. This is a dumb movie.
On the positive side, it's paced pretty well and things happen at a fair clip. The ending feels a bit abrupt in some ways, but I was happy to see it end. There were little bits that were dragged out too much. This was a scifi movie, but the ending played out much more like a cheesy horror flick. THE LEAD CANNIBAL JUST WON'T DIE! Until his head gets cut in half. Hmm.. ok.
I'm tired of thinking of this movie and I just started.
Recommended?
