Great idea, small details

As some friends have commented, this film is like a hodgepodge, combining the characteristics of many films together, creating a four-dimensional difference, fortunately, this four-dimensional difference is not bad. However, the bold breakthrough in the macro plot can not hide the too Hollywoodization in the details.

The director of the title dug a very old-fashioned hole, portraying it too much like Ecological Crisis I, it feels like it can be rumored as a biochemical crisis, and even the heroine is so similar.

When I arrived at the hospital, the scene was full of suspense, and I was waiting for the director to interpret the chaos 20 years later. Unexpectedly, his imagination was exhausted, and he copied a local ruffian cultural group and a medieval cultural group. Impact is still good.

The section where the car was racing is a bit exaggerated. The road has been well maintained for more than 20 years, and it is a pity that the scratches and damage on the car are sometimes absent.

In the end, the whole film does not seem to explain how Scotland's food, energy, etc. are supplied during the isolation period. It feels that the hole is too big for the director to fill it.

    This kind of dark apocalyptic movie never feels

    Again, I have a serious violence complex.

Doomsday quotes

  • Eden Sinclair: So, if we don't get out, no one will know we went in?

    Michael Canaris: You've got forty-eight hours. If you don't make it back, all of London and everybody in it, will be left to die.

    Eden Sinclair: If it's there, I'll find it.

    Michael Canaris: You'll need this. It's a GPS locator beacon. It'll tell us exactly where you are. We'll have a gun ship standing by to extract your team.

    Eden Sinclair: So much for low profile.

    Michael Canaris: Once you have the cure...

    [slides open door of helicopter]

    Michael Canaris: it won't matter.

    Eden Sinclair: What happens if I don't find anything up there?

    Michael Canaris: [as he steps out of the helicopter, looks back:] Then you needn't bother coming back.

  • Dr. Ben Stirling: [on the goods train] Where are you taking us?

    Cally: Somewhere safe for the moment.

    Eden Sinclair: Sorry to piss on your chips, but we haven't got time to play safe. You said you'd take us to Kane, and I need to see him *now.*

    Cally: I said I would help you find him. I can't take you to him.

    Norton: Why not?

    Cally: Because he will kill me. And if he finds out where you're from, he'll kill you, too. Ever since Sol left, he's become suspicious of everyone, even me. These people are too afraid to defy him. And those who dare are tortured or killed. You're living proof of a world beyond that wall. All our lives we've been told there was nothing out there. You being here makes him a liar.

    Eden Sinclair: What were you doing in the city?

    Cally: I went to find my brother. Sol.

    Eden Sinclair: That maniac is your brother?

    Norton: That is one fucked-up family, man.

    Cally: They're at war. And we're caught right in the middle.
