The tragedy of one mind and two purposes

First of all, I have to complain, shouldn't this kind of weather be considered "daily" for Canadians?
Just look at the beginning of this film and think that the theme is social conflict in a closed space; just look at the end, and think it is an apocalyptic version. Either way, it takes some skill to explain clearly the cause and effect in 95 minutes. But if you want to put two stories into these 95 minutes at the same time, I am afraid that only ghosts can do it, and the director of this film is obviously not.
So what do we see? A story of social conflict with no reason, and was abandoned halfway. A big brother with a very leadership style, but rushed into an obviously very dangerous dungeon with no foresight (the monsters in the dungeon can also run on the big map, which is really BUG). A cannibal organization for no reason, and can't speak human beings and doesn't need firearms, but its supernatural powers can crawl out of a deep well of more than ten meters. Then there is a...action scene in the background of sci-fi apocalypse.
Fortunately, I dragged the progress bar directly in the second half of the film. The first half of the film kept digging holes, and I didn't fill in any of them in the later period. Why did the weather controller get out of control, why did the brothers who are very strong with the leadership harden their hearts? How did the cannibals survive until now. Don't think that in the end, a group of people getting ready to recover the earth is like confession. The eyes of the audience are now much brighter than before.
The feeling of watching this film is that after finally starting a story, suddenly I start to tell another new one, after a while, I go back to tell the previous story. After jumping around a few times, the movie is over.
This film reminds me of the story of Fallout. In fact, if it is filmed as Fallout, the protagonist comes out of the Vault and goes through various things, helping various people, getting rid of some bad guys, killing some zombies, and then playing with Optimus Prime. Let’s fight the Enclave together, the last one walks along the railroad tracks into the distance... The narration is always the phrase "War, war never change..."

    When people lose order, they will return to the wild essence from civilized creatures, and rationality will also disappear forever. In this case, only a clear head can survive. The story of this film is novel and the positive ending is overall good.

    The rhythm is monotonous, so it is mysterious. You need to stick to it for 30 minutes to really get into the plot. The first half is an account of the storm and snow and the underground labyrinth of "2012", and the second half unfolds an apocalyptic massacre of people chasing people under the closed background of "isolation". The profit-seeking dialogue is slightly retarded, the barbarian setting is very good, and the poor bridge scene. There are no rules under survival instinct, who can survive to the end, the spoiler will be revealed in the first minute of the show.
