Bunker 6

Another very low budget Canadian film. Boring story and awful acting mean there is no reason to waste any time or energy on this junk.The only positive about this is the fact that it does have a short run time of 78 minutes, although it will feel much longer if you last until the end.

I thoroughly enjoyed this film. Some of the characters in the film appeared weak and unbelievable, in the beginning. But, if you hang on and wait for that plot twist at the end you will find that it all ties together nicely, and makes a lot more sense. I thought the acting was done well enough and was mostly believable. All in all it is a fun idea on a dystopian past created by the Cuban Missile Crisis, had that nuclear event actually taken place. It is Twist on history much like Tarantino has been known to do in some of his movies. This little movie was great fun.

I watched this because it was rated 3 stars. I'm now thinking that the people that make these movies are the ones giving it the star rating.

It's really not a great show. Don't get me wrong, it's not like it's the worst show ever but it's your standard psychological thriller without any thrills at all.

The actors did a good job, the set itself is OK - it's the story that really sucks. It's also pretty derivative and you can probably guess the ending shortly after it starts...

What I really disliked was that almost all of the characters were truly rotten people. The kind you certainly wouldn't want to be in a bunker with.

I kept waiting for some kind of ending to make it all worthwhile, some redeeming feature - but none was to be had.

In the end, I started fast-forwarding to get to the end. I personally think the other reviews on this show have a vested interest. Fake news in other words.

It's 1962. The Cuban missile crisis spirals out of control and nuclear bombs are exchanged. Little Grace follows her military father and others to hide in a fallout shelter. An explosion knocks her out and separates her from her parents. Ten years later, she survives in Bunker 6 with dying father figure Lewis and four others. After Lewis' death, she is put in charge of maintaining the machinery and the keys to the outside. There is dissension over leaving the bunker.

This is a micro budget indie. The production is limited. The actors are fine. The script is sparse. Alice is too slight to be threatening. Maybe give her a gun. The arguments seem manufactured which is only explained by the twist ending. It never seems real. As for the twist ending, there are missing visual cues. The whole movie is missing bits and pieces. This is a great high concept for an indie but the execution is not quite up to standard. There are little things that make the main section feel wrong and even the twist is unable to recover the plot.

What a strange film this is.

Are we in post insanity where Grace has been living alone for a long time after everyone died, I suppose of having been murdered by her?

Nothing is clear in this apocalyptic film. At times we can believe she is having flashbacks of what happened in the past to wake up in her reality that everything in the bunker is collapsing.

One moment she tries to contact the outside world then later on the communication room is in pieces with wires hanging here and there in a way to show that the bunker is degrading.

Again, nothing is clear to how insane she has become. Seems that two worlds are colliding in the bunker. The past which seems to have been livable and then a shift to what in the world is going on in the bunker!

When the green light finally turns on, she puts a key and is taken outside the bunker with some snow left to represent the nuclear winter coming to an end. Yet, the trees in the background have grown relatively fast. Especially after a nuclear bomb has detonated. How far from the bunker did it happen?

Was she inside the bunker for too long a time that led her to insanity? I would imagine yes because of the trees. In addition could there have been a defect with the light?

I'd like to see a sequel to this somehow good Canadian Sci-Filow budget film.

I liked the movie and give it a 7/10.
