Ácido: Aniquilación Total

I watched this movie and thought the idea is good but why oh why do directors insist on stupid teenagers being stupid. It seems to be an after 2000 thing where teenagers seem to be spolt intitled idiots. In modern disaster films about global warming etc people moan about this that and the other but what do they expect. They caused it! To be honest we deserve everything that is going to happen to us. I'd love to be more positive about the future but as long as corruption and greedy people run this planet well this film theme could be the norm! A good movie should have characters we root for. I'm afraid in this one I didn't care enough about them to want them to survive!

An interesting concept, although the origin was not explained. Either that or since it was in French with subtitles needed, it was not part of the subtitles. This is not rain with acid in it falling, but pretty much acid with some water falling, and for that, the special effects were done quite well. Horses caught outside and running while the rain burned their hides was excellent, as well as metal dissolving when hit by the drops. The scene with the bridge was excellent. And the effect of wide scenes of devastation from the acid was also well done. But they also showed some things damaged that would not be expected to be affected by acids. There were scenes where they were careful not to touch anything wet, as it was highly acidic, and other times it was 'never mind.' And it would be unlikely for a river to become so highly acidic just from some rain. The house that was affected by the acid rain was also well done. What was perhaps the worst part of the movie was the Selma character, a teenager that alternated between annoying and being irritating. There was some comedy, although probably not intended. After having their shoes greatly ruined by walking across acidic grounds, it seemed that they were going to put a thin disposable aluminum pan wrapped around their shoe. That would last seconds before dissolving away. They really needed a scientific advisor to iron out the flaws. It was difficult for me to get past the flaws to care that much about the story.

I think daughter was added to create problem in movie. See goes somewhere and ask for help from which she runs.. so funny..

Conceptual wise perfect. Acting wise waste of lot of money.

Lot of minor issues in direction.. if you see this.. which I never recommend anyone to do so..

This is first time in my life. I am taking this much time and effort to review something on IMDb because I don't want anyone to waste their time. If you like scifi.. please ignore this movie.

I installed this app first time and first review..it's that much frustrating for me that I am doing this and had too do this.

The premise of acid-rain and climate collapse was potentially interesting and thus why I watched it in the first place. But the cinematography and effects were confusing, I couldn't tell when or where's it was safe to go. So that ends up being disappointing. But the worst are the characters and their "development". You get a very hazy backstory, a sick girlfriend, and hostile divorced parents with a teenage daughter who lives up to the stereotypical obnoxious teenage girl role. Her father has this nefarious past, one of many storylines that go nowhere. It's hard to say if she even likes her parents. They have no real heart-to-heart talks because they're running for safety. I get that -except - the daughter makes no attempts because ALL SHE DOES is scream non-stop for either mama or papa...mostly because she thinks she knows everything and ignores their attempts to keep her safe.. and then she starts screaming for them again.

This could have been an interesting climate-change horror story, instead it becomes a story of people we don't get to know...except that they are stuck with an unlikeable teenager who, I suspect, none of us end up rooting for.

Maybe prescient is the word I'm circling around here? Enter a very French tale about the future imperfect, amounting to more or less an environmental horror yarn evoking those 1970s nature run amuck flicks. The cinematography and editing grab and grip, especially the intro, vibrating almost with a sense of January 6 chaos. But as the tale reveals it's a survive-if-you-can story of fractured family amid a fractured world and Mother Nature will have her day on Anvers! Or something. The narrative traipses plausible ish, and the effects come across as not so unbelievable. My kingdom for a concrete bunker already!
