Sanctuary: Population One

This great indie film uses imaginative storytelling and world creating to surpass its low budget limitations. The actors do a fantastic job of engaging you in the dystopian world that the director created. The story is more complex than most sci-fi thrillers and the characters more memorable. The low-budget is noticeable, which is a shame, the flame thrower being my least favourite effect, but the amazing crafting of the experience really make up for the monetary shortfalls. Great music and sound effects. Definitely looking forward to repeat viewing to get the most out of the deep and meaningful tale.

Dystopia with no climax, no feelings, no explanations, no continuity, flat characters, loose scenes. Low budget is no excuse, the whole plot is a mess. I really don't know what this movie is for in the end. The short description on the DVD promised an interesting story but I have never seen a movie which is so confusing and boring. It looks like random scenes cut together - or as if all important scenes were cut out of the movie. The music played during the DVD menu is nice.

Everything about this cheap movie is bad: the scenario, the acting, the editing, etc.

I only watched the first 10 minutes, so I am not giving anything away, but let me give you just a couple of examples that show how inane this movie is.

Lets start with the background story, where in only 5 years, "they" (aka "the bad guys") brought the 11 Billion population under control. If you know anything about politics, or the world, NOTHING would get done in 5 years in a single country, let alone in the entire world! Then a Caucasian girl from China comes to the US as a fugitive (never mind HOW, in a world so tightly controlled by the "bad guys"!) to find her family, and the first person she stumbles over is her brother. What are the odds?! I stopped watching after that, because I couldn't take more of such absurd stupidity.

The acting is terrible too, it just grated on my nerves. WORTHLESS MOVIE!

The Story behind the movie have a great potential, but it was not used at all. All you get is a movie about someone having hallucinations. The ending is even worse. It all just makes no sense at all. Such a waste....

I thought Netflix, Vudu,Tubi, and Amazon had a bad Sci-Fi section, but youtube got them all beat.
